"Get up!" Shang Jun reached out and took back the bamboo slip from the prince's hand and put it aside, "I'm just showing you this bamboo slip." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info I haven't stamped it yet, so at the moment you are still the crown prince of the Great Shang Kingdom. ”

When the prince heard this, his eyes lit up, "The son of the prince will thank his father for his unresponsible kindness! In the future, he will be conscientious and do his duty as the prince, and he will not dare to ......."

Shang Jun waved his hand, "I haven't finished my words yet! This is evidence of your mistakes, and the rules are conclusive, and you cannot deny them." However, you are my chosen crown prince, and although it seems to you that I don't care enough about you, I have put a lot of effort into you. So I want to give you a chance. If you can take this opportunity and perform well, this thing will never come out one day. But if you can't......"

"Erchen must do his best!Please believe in Erchen!" The prince didn't wait for Shang Jun to finish speaking, he had already kowtowed on the ground several times, and almost swore to the sky.

"Okay! You'd better do what you say, or don't blame your father for being ruthless!"

"Yes!" the prince breathed a sigh of relief, "I wonder what errand my father wants to send his sons to do?"

"Don't worry, I'll talk about it when your brothers arrive. ”

After a while, Xigui came to report that the other four princes had asked to see him.

"Let them all come in!"

Zizhao, Zichang, Zimin, and Zisheng walked in according to their age and saluted Shang Jun, "Knock to see Father!"

"Get up!" Shang Jun raised his hand, and the four princes all stood up.

Looking at the five sons in front of him, Shang Jun was very emotional. These five children were all born in the wind, handsome and chic, and even Zizhao, who grew up in the people, has a kind of royal temperament. However, they have their own faults, either they are too eager for quick success, or too gentle, or they are not assertive, or they are not interested in political affairs at all.

"I came to you today to announce something. You have all grown up, and you are already old enough to help your father share your worries, so your father wants to leave the problem at hand to you to help deal with. If you do well, you will be rewarded, and if you do not do well, you will be punished!"

Zizhao's eyes lit up, it was a good thing to have a problem, he just returned to the palace with his bare hands, with no background and no connections, except for establishing credit in specific affairs and increasing his capital to fight for the throne, there was really no other way to go.

When Zichang and Zimin heard this, their eyes were dark, they just wanted to be a prince comfortably, eating, drinking, and having fun every day, and these boring and troublesome political affairs should be handed over to the prince! Zisheng was expressionless, but his obviously empty eyes made people wonder if Shang Jun's words had entered his ears.

"Here are the two urgent reports just sent from Jidi and Yudi, although these two places are hundreds of miles apart, but this year they have suffered from a severe drought at the same time. Now that the drought has passed, locust plagues have occurred in both places, and the local officials have tried their best, but they have never been able to extinguish the locusts. Now that most of the crops in the fields have been eaten, if these locusts are not eradicated, the people in these two places will have no harvest this year!"

Zizhao was the first to stand up and say, "Erchen asks for an order to assist the local officials in controlling the locust plague!"

The prince glanced at him, not to be left behind, and also stepped forward to ask for an order: "The son must do his best to destroy the locusts and save the people!

The remaining three looked at the two brothers who were rushing to cure the locust plague in a daze, and joked, locusts, such a disgusting thing, I want to vomit at a glance, let alone a disaster? The three of them took half a step back in unison, not wanting to go at all.

Shang Jun glared at the three of them, "You three don't want to shirk, this is a national matter, and you, as princes, must bear it." Ziyun and Zizhao, the two of you will choose by yourself, and after you choose, these three younger brothers will be your assistants and go down with you!"

Zizhao smiled and said to the prince: "Big brother, you are the eldest, please choose first!"

The prince snorted lightly, stepped forward and picked up a roll of bamboo slips, opened it and looked at it, "Thistle?"

Zizhao also stepped forward and picked up another roll of bamboo slips, "It seems that mine is Yudi!"

"Very well! Now that you've chosen where to go, it's time to choose your assistant. You can pick any of these three younger brothers, and whoever you pick will go with them to help control the locust plague!"

The prince smiled slightly, "This time, let's invite Brother Zhao to come first!" He knew in his heart that these three younger brothers, Zichang and Zimin, were his own people, and it was impossible for them to go with Zizhao. As for that Zisheng, it's just a waste who only knows how to ponder his hands all day long, and he doesn't want it for himself. It's best that he refuses to go with Zi Zhao, then Zi Zhao is going to make a fool of himself!

"Zizhao has been in the folk for ten years, and he is not familiar with the palace, and he is even less familiar with the brothers, so he really doesn't know how to choose. Why don't you do it, let the three younger brothers choose!"

Zichang and Zimin didn't wait for the prince to say anything, and immediately stood behind him. Zisheng looked at the prince, then at Zizhao, and then walked to Zizhao's side dejectedly.

"Brother Sheng, if you want to help Brother Prince, I won't blame you!" Zizhao said softly, trying not to let Shang Jun hear.

Zisheng glanced at him unexpectedly, although he didn't want to follow this strange brother, but how could the prince be willing to let himself follow him?

"No need. ”

Zizhao nodded, "Then thank you!" At least one younger brother chose himself, whether he was willing or not, and managed to save a little face.

"It seems that you have all made your own choices! Then I will give you a day to prepare, and then you can hurry up! The disaster relief funds have been allocated to the local area, and when you get to the local area, you must cooperate well with the local officials, and don't put up a shelf for the prince!"

"Yes!"

The five brothers came out of the palace of the government, and then naturally divided into two camps.

"Then I wish Brother Zhao all the best!When we come back from the disaster, we will get together again!" the prince said to Zizhao with a smile on his face, but Zichang and Zimin clearly felt the chill emanating from his body.

"Thank you, big brother, and I wish you a smooth trip!"

The prince snorted coldly, and walked outside the palace with Zichang and Zimin, Zizhao looked at their backs for a moment, then looked back at Zisheng, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Sheng, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Zisheng struggled to open his eyelids, "Yes, little brother, I only slept for two hours last night. ”

"Then please go back to the palace to rest first, and when I am ready, I will come and ask you to set off together. ”

Zisheng tried to open his eyes wider, "What preparations do you want to make? It's not that I speak badly, you don't want people in this palace, you don't want money, what preparations can you make? Why don't you go and ask your father to ask for guilt now, and let him send someone else to Yudi!"

"Brother Sheng, don't worry, I have my own way!" After speaking, Zizhao walked outside the palace.

Zisheng looked at his back, stunned, and then coldly spit out a sentence: "What do I have to worry about?"
