In mid-October, the prince ordered the Minister of Works and the Department of Water Affairs of the Ministry of Works to write a joint letter: During the winter idle period, water conservancy will be rectified and rivers will be dredged. He asked the emperor to order all blocked rivers in Gyeonggi Province, Dugi Province and other areas to clear all blocked rivers, and strengthen the river embankment after spring plowing, etc., and all officials related to water conservancy will also discuss it.

"Authentication." The emperor has seen the memorial on the Imperial Heavenly Prison, saying that he learned from the hexagram that there will be a major disaster next spring and summer. "Crown Prince, this matter will be led by you, and your personnel, property will be dispatched by you."

The prince came out to salute, "The son of the minister received the order."

After being confined to the court for half a year and returning to the court to control the government, King Lu showed a hint of jealousy in his eyes. When he was confined to the house, King Guishan was also full of reluctance to learn about this. Whether it was jealous or unwilling to do so, they could only watch the prince take over the power.

Although water control is a major event and involves many people, it is far less than another thing that makes civil and military officials care about. Next year it will be the year of the three-year exam. Jingchao's exam is combined with the term of office, with three years as a small man and six years as a rank full.

This is related to the promotion of all officials. How can you not care about it? Can you not pay attention to it? A minister who does not want to be promoted is not a good minister. According to convention, the emperor should appoint officials from the Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate to preside over the examination, but this time the emperor asked the prince of Anguo Fu Zhixing to take charge of the matter.

"I am the Minister of Works! I am on vacation." Fu Zhixing couldn't help but go crazy when he heard the emperor's oral order brought by the eunuch.

The eunuch lowered his head and replied, "The emperor has appointed the prince as the right censor of the Censorate of the Censorate in the morning today, and the young lady is about to give birth, which will not affect the prince's presidency of the exam next year."

The emperor has already planned this, what else can Fu Zhixing do? He said coldly with Zhang Jun's face, "I will accept the order."

The eunuch returned to the palace to serve, and the emperor laughed loudly, "No matter how cunning Monkey King is, you cannot escape the palm of the Tathagata Buddha."

Looking at the overjoyed emperor, Queen Shen was so amused and laughed, "Long live, can you bully the junior like this?"

"That brat always makes excuses for not wanting to do things, so I am not as good as he wants. I want to find something for him." The emperor said willfully.

Of course, the emperor did not think of exhausting Fu Zhixing to death. He also appointed several officials to assist him in the examination. There were many visitors in the Duke of Anguo and the homes of those officials, and Fu Zhixing was very annoyed.

In addition to visiting Fu Zhixing and others, these officials were also checking for the missing items on their own. Many houses would hear such roars, "You bastard! Did you eat the courage of the bear heart and leopard? They actually misappropriated the 500,000 taels of silver in the warehouse and squandered them all! 500,000 taels, not 500 taels, not 500 taels, not 500 taels, not 500 taels, what did you do with this silver?"

"You damn thing! Who gave you such a courage? You dare to resell the grain in the warehouse! If you want to die, just die by yourself and don't implicate us."

"What did you do? Why did you lose nearly one million taels of silver? How to fill the gap? The gap cannot be filled. Not to mention being an official, I am afraid that all of us will be unable to save our lives."

In order to make up for the loss before the exam, many officials began to sell shops, sell land, or borrow money everywhere.

In the palace of Guishan, Guishan and an old man sat in the study and drank tea, "Old Ming, these fifty taels of silver are not a small amount."

"Prince, give up small wealth and achieve great things. When the prince takes that position, he will be rich in the world. What is this 500,000 taels of silver?" the old man smiled.

"You are right, but you don't have to be so anxious to send it to the Su family for 500,000 taels. It will make Su Wei anxious for two days, so that he can rest and feel desperate. Only in this way can he be more grateful to me and use it for me." King Guishan said smartly.

"The prince is wise." The old man flattered him.

Yan Hu, who was raising her baby at home, had no idea about these things. The weather was getting colder and colder. She was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she opened the kang and burned the ground dragon. The outside was cold and the room was still warm.

Fu Zhixing seemed to have something to do, so he went out after having breakfast with Yan Hu.

At the beginning of the afternoon, Han asked someone to send Zhuoer and Yue'er over to accompany Yan Hu for lunch. Yue'er had something in his hand, so he ran in, "Mom, Yue'er picked up a lot of iced beans."

Yan Huo looked into his little hand that was so cold that it was red and laughed, "Silly boy, aren't you cold to catch so many snow particles?"

"Give it to my mother." Yue'er grinned.

"I want to give it to my mother. What a good son." Yan Huo touched his head, "Tamei, take the cup and put the iced beans that the second young master gave me."

Shimei took the cup and asked Yue'er to put the "baby" iced beans in his hands, washed his hands, and applied anti-frostbite plaster.

After a while, Zhuo'er also came. He brought a branch of wintersweet from the princess's mansion. "Mom, my son saw that the wintersweet bloomed in the yard, so he broke a few branches. My great-grandmother and grandmother sent someone to send them over. This was what my son gave to my mother."

"Thank you Zhuo'er, mom, I like this Meixiang the most." Yan Huo said with a smile.

In the evening, Fu Zhixing came back from outside and saw the wintersweet flowers in the bottle, "Maid, go and help you fold it?"

"Zhuo'er came to give me it. My son is so filial." Yan Huo said happily.

"I'm so happy to give you a plum blossom?" Fu Zhixing wiped his hands clean and sat down beside her.

Yan Hu's eyes fluttered, "A woman's pursuit is to love her husband and to be filial to her children."

"I'll give these to you, how about you like it?" Fu Zhixing took the wooden box that he had just put aside and handed it to Yan Hu.

Yan Huo opened the box, and there were a stack of land deeds and field deeds inside, and asked in surprise: "How did these come about?"

"In the course exam, officials who embezzled and misappropriated public funds had to sell land and land in order to keep their black hats and raise funds to fill the gap." Fu Zhixing explained.

"Are you considered taking advantage of the situation?" Yan Huo asked with a smile.

Fu Zhixing said seriously: "I am saving them from water and fire. If I don't buy them, their fields will not be sold, and they will not be able to take out the money to fill the gap. Not only will the official position be saved, but their lives are also worrying."

"Thank you, my husband, I like these very much." Yan Huo's eyes were curved, she became rich! She made a fortune!

In the middle of the night that day, Yan Huo, who was sleeping in his sleep, suddenly woke up from pain and pushed the people around him, "Husband, Husband."

"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?" Fu Zhixing sat up.

"I, I'm going to give birth." Yan Huo had already suffered from labor before going to bed, but the interval was still long, so she didn't tell Fu Zhixing.

Fu Zhixing hurriedly got out of bed and lit the lamp, "Come, come, the young lady is about to give birth."
