Chapter 15: Solving the Event

Through the River Snail Rice Noodles incident, Liu Li successfully made Liu Che believe in the existence of the Goddess.

And he even tasted the River Snail Rice Noodles that was said to be the Goddess's favorite. Although it smelled a bit strange, it tasted unexpectedly good.

Returning to the bedroom, Liu Che took out the facial tissue again and observed it carefully. No matter how many times he looked at it, he couldn't help but marvel at the fineness of this paper.

However, this paper was still too thin and didn't seem to be suitable for writing. Was there no paper that was both thin and suitable for writing?

The sound of opening the door and footsteps came from the doorway. Liu Che looked up and saw a tall man walking slowly from outside the door. He was dazed for a moment, and then he realized that the person who came in was A Jiao.

A Jiao who had become him.

"Daughter asleep?" Liu Che said, carefully folding the paper in his hand and putting it into his bosom.

A Jiao watched his actions and thought of her own caution when she first saw the facial tissue, and suddenly found that their actions were exactly the same.

"Mm." A Jiao responded lightly, tilting her head slightly to look at herself.

The ornaments on his head had been removed, and a head of black long hair hung down to his waist. His thin shoulders looked particularly thin under the light of the lamp, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

Her own body seemed a bit thin.

Seemingly noticing A Jiao's gaze, Liu Che turned his head to meet those bright black eyes of his own. The candlelight flickered in his eyes, and he followed her gaze to look down at himself, a trace of warmth embellishing his eyes: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

The voice was crisp, like pearls falling on a jade plate.

A Jiao suddenly came back to her senses and sneered: "Who is looking at you, I am looking at myself."

He raised his eyebrows and walked toward her gracefully. The candlelight pulled his graceful figure long, leaving a swaying shadow on the ground. He raised his hand and gently rested it on A Jiao's shoulder, and the distance between the two suddenly narrowed.

A Jiao's breathing stopped. She subconsciously reached out to support Liu Che's waist, met his burning torch-like gaze, and frowned: "What are you doing?"

Liu Che was dissatisfied with having to look up at A Jiao at this moment. He stood on tiptoe and wrapped his hands around her neck, forcing her to look down at him, and then said faintly: "Are you still angry with me for what happened yesterday?"

A Jiao curled her lips, reached out and pushed him away, and said angrily: "Your Majesty visited the Jiaofang yesterday, how could I be angry?"

Liu Che, who was pushed away, was not angry. He leaned on the bed railing, his expression flying: "If A Jiao is still angry, then why don't I let you bully me back tonight." As he spoke, he turned and sat on the edge of the bed, his eyebrows full of teasing.

A Jiao's expression was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted. She didn't know whether it was anger or shame, she trembled and scolded: "Liu Che, you..."

She bit her lip, not knowing what words to use to scold him.

Seeing such an embarrassed expression on her own face, Liu Che laughed out loud and just said: "I was just joking with you."

In fact, letting himself have a relationship with his own body in the identity of a woman, he felt awkward thinking about it, let alone A Jiao?

A Jiao's face sank, and she "hummed" noncommittally.

"Go to sleep, there are many things to do tomorrow." Liu Che said and climbed onto the bed first.

A Jiao extinguished the lamp and lay on the outside, unwillingly. At this time, she couldn't sleep, staring at the carvings on the bed railing in a daze.

Liu Che turned his head to look at her and asked: "Can't sleep?"

A Jiao didn't look at him, but responded: "Liu Che, have you ever thought about what to do if we can't swap back in the future?"

Liu Che turned over and looked at the bed railing, seemingly seriously considering the problem A Jiao said. After a long while, he said: "We will swap back."

A Jiao wanted to say something more, but heard Liu Che say: "If we really can't swap back, then I will be A Jiao's Empress for a lifetime."

"..."

The words A Jiao wanted to say were blocked in her throat. She thought that if she hadn't been reborn, hadn't experienced the despair of being trapped in the Changmen Palace, perhaps she would have been moved when she heard him say this.

But now she knew clearly in her heart that Liu Che would say this to her only because she occupied his body. He definitely said that they would definitely swap back, but he was not sure in his heart.

The next day, A Jiao, in the identity of Liu Che, issued an edict for water conservancy expert Zheng Dangshi to take ten thousand soldiers to the disaster area of the sixteen commanderies to repair water conservancy.

At the same time, edicts were issued to the governors of the commanderies and counties surrounding the sixteen commanderies to assist Zheng Dangshi in accepting the victims. Victims who still had the ability to act could also participate in the team of repairing water conservancy and rebuilding their homes, and finally receive remuneration and rations according to their labor.

The issuance of this directive gave the people in the disaster area hope for life, and they knelt down to thank the Son of Heaven. For a time, the Emperor's reputation received good support among the people.

And Liu Che, in the identity of A Jiao, persuaded Liu Piao to raise funds for the disaster area.

Of course, Liu Piao was very reluctant at first. In her view, the life and death of those disaster victims had nothing to do with her. Why should she donate such a large sum of money to a group of lowly people?

"Mother, of course there are benefits to doing this." Liu Che said: "The people know that the Grand Princess donated money for the disaster victims, which is good for your reputation and for the entire Chen family. You are not only my mother but also the Grand Princess."

Liu Piao hesitated for a moment, took her daughter's hand, and only asked: "A Jiao, you persuade me like this, is it for the people or for Liu Che?"

Liu Che: "..."

He smiled: "Mother, I am thinking for our Chen family. If this can solve the worries of the Emperor, the Emperor will definitely remember Mother's contribution."

Liu Piao sneered: "If he really remembered my kindness, the Dou family wouldn't be in its current situation."

Liu Che was silent, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Forget it, I will donate this money." Liu Piao sighed and said: "But it's not for Liu Che, but for you."

The Grand Princess Liu Piao currently didn't lack money the most. After the Grand Empress Dowager Dou passed away, all the old lady's private money was left to this only daughter.

Liu Che was stunned for a long time and said: "Thank you, Mother."

With Liu Piao taking the lead and responding, many noble families who held fiefs participated, proposing to donate money or grain to the disaster area of the sixteen commanderies. And Liu Che himself was responsible for collecting the donations.

In this way, Tian Fen, as Prime Minister and holding a fief, had to donate grain.

First, there was the method of relief through work, and then there were the governors around the disaster area accepting the wandering victims. Liu Che also appointed Zhang Tang as the disaster relief censor to escort the disaster relief grain to the disaster area. With this orderly arrangement, results were quickly seen.

Since ancient times, distributing grain for disaster relief could not avoid corrupt officials, so Liu Li suggested to Liu Che to appoint Zhang Tang as the censor for disaster relief at this time, which could be considered trust in Zhang Tang's character.

After all, Zhang Tang was famous for his integrity in history.

"By the way." Liu Li reminded: "Father Emperor can arrange for two accompanying medical officers to follow Magistrate Zhang to the disaster area."

"Why do you need medical officers?"

"After the flood is solved, I am afraid there will be an epidemic. Arranging for medical officers to go there can detect and treat it early."

Liu Che pondered for a moment and agreed to Liu Li's suggestion, and arranged for two imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital to follow Zhang Tang to the disaster area of the sixteen commanderies.

In just five days, Zheng Dangshi sent good news. The ten thousand soldiers he originally took to repair water conservancy had now expanded to more than thirty thousand. Not only did the people in the disaster area participate in the team of rebuilding their homes, but people with labor ability in neighboring commanderies also signed up to participate, after all, there was money and grain to be had.

Liu Che didn't expect such results in the end. He even thought that if military conscription could have such results, then the Han army could crush the Xiongnu in terms of numbers.

Liu Li thought that the Yellow River flood incident should be considered solved, because the system seemed to judge it this way.

【Solved the "Yellow River Huzi Breach" event, rewarded 1000 points, unlocked the second layer of items in the system store.】

At that time, Liu Li had already left the Jiaofang Hall and was planning to visit other palaces nearby. After hearing the system's prompt, she

hurriedly found a pavilion to sit down and closed her eyes to check her system.

Solving one thing actually gave 1000 points, which was a big reward for Liu Li.

One must know that even if Liu Che's favorability toward her was full, the points she could redeem in the end would only be 1000 points. But now one thing rewarded 1000 points, so she had to brush more events!

However, although the reward was generous, Liu Li still had a doubt in her heart. She thought for a moment and finally asked: "System, I should have changed history this time."

After all, in history, the Han Emperor in the third year of Yuanguang did not go to manage the Yellow River flood, but waited until more than twenty years later, in the Yuanguang period, when he saw the suffering of the people after the flood with his own eyes, that he made up his mind to repair the breach.

"Since I have changed history, does that mean I have to split into more space-times?"

【Host, you are already a person in history, perhaps the history of this space-time will be created by you.】

"Wha... what do you mean?" Liu Li was a bit confused after hearing the system's words.

The system didn't give an answer again, but wanted Liu Li to understand the meaning herself. Liu Li's heart couldn't be calm for a long time. She thought about the system's words over and over again.

The history of this space-time will be created by herself.

For a time, Liu Li didn't know how to describe her mood at this moment. Perhaps she would have to spend a lifetime to understand the meaning of this sentence.

Carrying a sense of inexplicable emotion, Liu Li walked slowly toward the Jiaofang Hall. A pebble struck her back; it didn't hurt, but it was enough to bring Liu Li back to her senses.

The two palace maids following Liu Li had already started shouting: "Who is it, how dare you sneak attack the Princess?!"

Liu Li turned around and looked around, finally locking her gaze behind a big tree. She pursed her lips and silently signaled the two palace maids to go around and catch the person.

The two understood, surrounded from left to right, and directly caught the two little people hiding behind the big tree and dragged them out.

It was really two little people, a little girl who looked about the same age as her, and a slightly older boy.

The boy's two feet kept flapping and struggling: "Let go of me, let go of me!" The appearance of his claws and teeth, coupled with his little face with a bit of baby fat, looked very much like a big dog barking. **Chapter 16: Huo Qubing**
