After Li Haochen followed the mysterious man to the study, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty is so late, I don't know what to do when I come to my residence? I didn't know that it was Your Majesty who arrived just now. I just said that it was Your Majesty who bumped into Your Majesty and asked Your Majesty to forgive me!" The person who knocked on Li Haochen's door in the middle of the night was no one else, and the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng smiled and raised his hands with his hands: "Haochen, when I was the prince, you followed me. Today I left the palace in a concealed manner, there is no need to be too polite, but what you scolded me just now is quite cruel? I almost wanted to cure you for being a great disrespectful crime, but you didn't know it was me. Besides, you were very passionate at this time, probably you were busy with sexual intercourse. If I disturb you, I will not punish you! However, I did have something to discuss with you this time. Let's take a look at this!" Li Jiancheng said and handed Li Haochen a memorial.

Li Haochen carefully received the memorial and opened it and read it carefully. The memorial was written by Yang Yan, the Yellow River Supervision Commander, who broke the Yellow River this year. The houses of the people in Henan were destroyed and the land was flooded. The court needed to allocate funds for disaster relief, and to apply for warehouses and grain releases in various prefectures. At the same time, another 400,000 taels of silver was needed to repair the river embankment.

After reading the memorial, Li Haochen carefully closed the memorial and handed it back to Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Majesty, the Yellow River floods, and the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are suffering from disasters. It is reasonable to allocate relief and open warehouses and grain. Is there anything wrong with this?" Li Haochen knew that Li Jiancheng would definitely show him this to him, but to be honest, he really didn't see any problem, so he asked Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "I thought so at the beginning. I thought that Zhu Bi Yu would just let the Ministry of Revenue handle it. However, I still have little experience in such a big deal, so I went to ask my father for advice. Who knew that my father told me a message that the Yellow River basically broke down every year in the founding of the Tang Dynasty and flooded every year. The court allocated funds every year and provided relief every year!"

Li Haochen hurriedly said, "If this is the case, then there must be something wrong with this. Why did the Supreme Emperor not send capable officials to investigate at that time?"

When Li Jiancheng heard Li Haochen's words, he couldn't help but sigh: "I asked my father this way, and the father shook his head helplessly at that time, saying that he had sent ministers to him at that time. Since the third year of Wude, he would send ministers to him every year. However, these ministers came back to report that the flood was true, and the court had no choice but to allocate funds for relief. Besides, the foundation was still unstable, and although my father thought this was strange, he did not take it seriously."

Li Haochen listened to Li Jiancheng's introduction and pondered for a moment: "Then have all the survey ministers in the past few years been the same? Didn't anyone find any clues?"

Li Jiancheng shook his head first, then nodded and said, "In the seventh year of Wude, Liu Gang, the Minister of Personnel, was appointed as the Minister of Supervision and went to investigate. Half a month later, Liu Gang submitted a secret letter to his father, saying that the flooding of the Yellow River was not a natural disaster, but it was actually a man-made disaster. He went to Beijing to report in detail to his father. However, in just three days, the Henan Provincial Administration reported to the court that Lord Liu Gang died in a case of breaking the Yellow River dam to help the victims. The father felt that there must be something strange about this matter, and sent thirteen ministers in Henan to investigate the matter strictly. As a result, after these ministers came back, they all said that Lord Liu's death was the same, and he died of disaster relief, and the matter was left unresolved."

Li Haochen sighed and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that the water in Henan is very deep? Your Majesty comes to see me late at night and must have something to ask me to do. Please let me make it clear."

Li Haochen probably knew that Li Jiancheng hoped that he would go to Henan to make trouble, which is why he had previously appointed him as the chief military and political manager of Henan Province. It seems that Li Jiancheng had already made plans in his mind. Although he thought it through clearly, Li Haochen still needed Li Jiancheng's accurate instructions.

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Haochen with a smile, knowing in his heart that Li Haochen already knew what he asked him to do. He stepped forward and patted Li Haochen on the shoulder and said, "Haochen, I trust you and hope that you can solve the Yellow River problem in one fell swoop. I am not unwilling to allocate funds and relief, but I asked the Ministry of Revenue and I really can't afford such money. The Yellow River broke down every year, and every year it requires more money than the previous year's government. What they want this year is the total tax of my Tang Dynasty for half a year. Even if I can tolerate it, the Tang Dynasty cannot withstand such deficits. This is a bottomless pit. I can't watch him swallow the Tang Dynasty in the end!" As he said that, Li Jiancheng looked at Li Haochen earnestly and continued, "Haochen, can you understand what I mean?"

After hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Li Haochen sighed secretly. To be honest, he was unwilling to go to this mess. It was not that he was afraid of something, but that he was not good at this, and he might not be able to do it and get rid of the matter.

Li Haochen thought this way and said to Li Jiancheng: "Your Majesty, I am not willing to share your worries. Your Majesty, you know me. I am from a corps, I do not understand politics, and I will not fight. Your Majesty asked me to conquer cities and territory, protect the land and the people. I will not frown. However, this finds out the reason why the Yellow River broke through and arrested the people behind the scenes. I am afraid that I will betray Your Majesty the heavy trust and cannot fulfill your entrustedness. If this happens, Haochen will not be able to redeem his crime even if he dies a hundred times!"

Listening to Li Haochen's words, Li Jiancheng patted Li Haochen's shoulder again and said, "Haochen, I know your ability. To be honest, half of my position as an emperor is your credit. If it weren't for your careful arrangement, I'm afraid that I and Yuanji will not escape the murderous hands of Shimin in Xuanwu Gate. I believe in your abilities. There are indeed old ministers who are good at fighting and outstanding abilities in the court, but I don't trust them. I'm afraid that they will go. The Yellow River will still break every year, and the court will still pay relief every year!" Finally, Li Jian said earnestly to Li Haochen: "Haochen, whether the country of this Tang Dynasty is stable and whether I can still sit steadily on the throne depends on your trip to Henan this time. I believe you!"

Li Jiancheng's words come from the heart, and Li Haochen is still very helpful to Li Jiancheng's words. At this moment, Li Haochen really feels like he is a confidant who dies.

The excited Li Haochen bowed again and said to Li Jiancheng: "I am grateful for Your Majesty's trust. I will complete the tasks assigned by Your Majesty! Please rest assured!"

Li Jiancheng listened to Li Haochen's words and said three times, then turned around and left Li Haochen's study, leaving Li Haochen alone in the room and wondering what to do.

Just as Li Haochen was thinking, a voice suddenly came from the entrance of the study room and interrupted Li Haochen's thoughts, "General, can you take me with you for this trip?"
