The palace is the layout of the front hall, the front three halls are the main hall carrying the hall, the back is the wear hall, and the back is the departure hall. The main hall is the place where the prince receives angels and accepts the audience of local officials on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the Qiyun Hall is the place where the prince usually deals with the internal affairs of the domain.

The companions read with Huang Jin and came to the side hall of the Qiyun Palace.

The prince took Lu Bing and was already sitting here. He was wearing a vermilion python suit with a jade belt around his waist, although he often dressed up, but when he was solemn, he also added a lot of momentum, and he didn't know what to say to Lu Bing. Lu Bing nodded while listening, like a chicken pecking rice, with a serious face.

Seeing everyone coming, Shizi's expression eased slightly.

Wang Qi took the lead, and everyone knelt half-way. The prince was stunned when he saw this, and then he opened his mouth to shout, but he didn't say anything like being exempt from courtesy in the future.

When they were in school, they could talk about the friendship of their classmates; Outside the school, it is also the duty of everyone to determine the master and slave early.

He instructed everyone to sit down, and said, "When the local gentry and elders arrive, the lonely general will temporarily meet the guests on behalf of the father, and you can stay with the lonely side." When the discussion is over, there will be no effort to reunite everyone with the elders in the family. ”

As he spoke, his gaze slid over everyone, and he paused on Chen Chizhong, with a smile in his eyes.

Chen Chizhong has been in the palace for a year, and for the first time, he changed out of his robe and put on a straight jacket, which added a bit of Sven.

For his knowledge, Shizi is obviously very satisfied. No one cares about how to learn in the house, and when you come out and stand behind the prince, your identity is different. The time I went out of the city two days ago, the companions were not officially presented. This time, in front of the Anlu gentry, the companions read and accompanied the attendants, which can be regarded as an official appearance.

Lu Bing couldn't close his mouth, leaned over to sit down with his head under the idiot, poked his head, and whispered: "Second brother, I will see those people later, we are going out of the palace......"

The Taoist idiot also whispered: "The prince wants to leave the house? ”

Lu Bing nodded and said, "We have to go with us, but we don't go out of the city." ”

The idiot didn't ask in detail, thinking in his heart that the prince was probably going to Nancheng.

King Xing has been a vassal for more than 20 years and has a very good reputation. Seeking rain in drought years, flood prevention in flood years, and providing money and grain relief in famine years are all common practices. During the two rainstorms a few days ago, houses collapsed in the northern part of the city, and the situation in the southern city must be even worse.

After a while, an attendant came in and said: "Your Highness, the gentry in the city have arrived, and the subordinate officials are leading them over here." ”

Shizi nodded and ordered, "Lead to the West Pavilion and wait." ”

The waiter left in response, and the prince did not rush to get up, but looked at the idiot and said, "How did you go home yesterday?" ”

The idiot said: "The yard is low-lying, the rain is pouring back, and the stagnant water is half deep, and it took an afternoon of hard work to clear the stagnant water." Fortunately, I repaired the house once last year, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to survive. Speaking of this, he hesitated and said: "Backstreet people, there are people who have a big accident due to the collapse of the house. ”

The prince frowned and said: "The torrential rain is a disaster, no wonder my father is very worried. ”

After estimating the tea, Shizifang got up and went first, and everyone got up to follow and entered the Qiyun Palace.

The width of the Qiyun hall is seven, and it is three rooms deep, and it is divided into the middle hall, the east pavilion, and the west pavilion.

The East Pavilion is where the prince usually summons his subordinates, and the prince directly leads everyone to the West Pavilion.

The heads of the families with heads and faces in the city are waiting here, don't look at their majesty in front of the people, they really don't even have room to sit when they enter the palace.

When the Son of the World came in, all the people fell on their knees to the ground.

The Taoist idiot had already avoided with the others, and his eyes swept around the crowd, the old patriarch of the Wang family and Wang Zhen were there, the second uncle of the Shen family was here, and Father Lu and Father Liu were also there. There are also many second-class families, behind the fourth-class families. In the back position, there is also the in-law of the outer nine rooms, Zhang Qinghe's uncle Zhang clan patriarch. didn't see Wang Qinghong, and he had some doubts in his heart.

An arhat collapsed in the west pavilion, the prince sat down, and all the companions followed with bated breath, standing left and right.

The prince opened his mouth and shouted, and then glanced at the patriarch Wang who was standing at the head of the gentry, and ordered to give a seat.

The two little eunuchs responded and carried a pineapple wooden square chair over and placed it in front of the old patriarch Wang.

After the patriarch thanked him, he sat down next to the chair.

Of the more than a dozen gentry who were invited, there was not only one old patriarch, but only the patriarch was given a seat.

The Wang family can have such a face in the palace, not only because of the in-laws of the palace, but also because of the help of the Wang family. As early as when the other gentry were watching the young vassal king, the Wang family had already begun to surrender.

King Xing turned over at the beginning, and the land he got was the official land of King Ye and King Liang in the early years, but it was more than 400 hectares, and he had to start buying private land.

Without waiting for the palace to speak, the Wang family asked someone to send a land deed of 500 hectares of land, and then sold another 1,000 hectares of fertile land to the palace at a very low price.

When the palace decided to reclaim the land, the Wang family contributed money and efforts to cooperate with the palace to build a dam and reclaim the land.

It seems that the Wang family seems to have suffered a loss, contributing money and efforts to the palace, and even giving away and selling 1,500 hectares of fertile land; But in fact, in the more than 20 years that the Tongxing Wangfu has confessed, the Wang family not only did not suffer losses, but added thousands of hectares of fertile land after cultivating the land, and the position of the first gentleman in Anlu was more stable.

But if the Wang family hesitated at that time, and the other families threw themselves into the palace, then Anlu would no longer be in this pattern now.

Thinking of this, Dao Idiot looked at the old patriarch Wang with admiration. The local gentry were both wary and defensive about the royal palace, because it was not an uncommon topic for the vassal king to encroach on the people's land.

The bad reputation of the feudal kings in other places is mostly related to the competition for property and land. Xingwangfu was helped by the landlord snake Wang's family, and did not encroach on the people's land, saving a lot of right and wrong.

By the time the other families confirmed that King Xing was a kind person and would not care about the property of this and that family, and wanted to get together, it was already a step too late.

There is one more Mrs. Wang in the palace, and the Wang family is still the first gentry in Anlu.

"Father invited you to come because of the torrential rain a few days ago." Shizi cleared his throat and said: "The day before yesterday, I went to the tomb of King Liang on the order of my father, and the river valley plain overflowed, the embankment was seriously damaged, and the fertile land had been encroached upon; The situation in the city is not very good, there are thousands of collapsed houses, and the people are in difficulty. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "I don't know what you have to teach you about this summer's floods?" ”

The young prince has a serious face and sincere eyes.

The gentry present felt cold in their hearts. Although the prince is not yet an adult, he already has a bit of the demeanor of a prince.

At the beginning of the prince's reign in the land of Domain, floods, droughts, and various troubles of the displaced people encountered a lot of seriousness. Every time, the prince is like this, politely invited everyone to come, and then worried about the country and the people, with a sincere face to say two sentences, and the end must be this sentence "What do you teach orphans".

After that, everyone had to pay for silver and food to "soothe the people", and it was the royal palace that finally gained fame.

Who would be willing to do such a thankless job?

But many years ago, what happened to the guy who disobeyed the prince? The family is not broken, the person is not dead, but it has become an unpopular family from a second-rate family.

The prince seems to be lenient, but as a dragon son and grandson, how can his dignity tolerate provocation?

Now that the prince is older, he no longer likes to do these things like "helping the people" in the past few years, and everyone has breathed a sigh of relief. Why, when you come to the world, you still come to this one? Can you change some new tricks?

For a while, no one answered, and it was cold.

The little face of the prince drooped down all of a sudden, and the eyes of the people were annoyed. He exhaled secretly, called his name directly, and said, "What advice does Mr. Wang have?" ”

Patriarch Wang coughed twice and said, "Your Highness is very kind to the people, and the little old man admires it. Don't dare to take the word advice, if His Royal Highness doesn't think the little old man is noisy, the little old man will be verbose. ”

Shizi's face softened slightly: "Old gentleman, please speak?" ”

Patriarch Wang said: "The land of Anlu is not only the land of the royal domain, but also the place where our family and other families settle down. An Lu'an, I'll wait for An; Anlu is unstable, and I will not have a good time waiting. As long as it is for the sake of peace and stability, we are naturally willing to follow the prince and His Royal Highness to participate in the grand event. ”

These words are not only to the prince, but also to warn others not to think about staying out of the matter.

Shizi's expression became more and more relaxed, and he looked at the other family heads and said, "What do you think?" ”

The second uncle of the Shen family said: "The prince loves the people like a son, His Royal Highness is kind and kind, and the grass people can follow the prince and His Royal Highness behind him, and do a little bit for the people of Anlu, it is a great honor!" ”

Father Liu said: "It is precisely that the prince and His Royal Highness trust the grass people and others, so they ordered to summon them, and the grass people and others will not live up to the expectations of the prince and His Royal Highness." ”

The four surnames are left in the Lu family, although he is reluctant in his heart, Father Lu can only say: "Where we are used, the prince and His Royal Highness only have orders, and they have nothing to say." ”

The four surnames all expressed their positions, and the others could only nod their heads.

Everyone laughed reluctantly, these two rainstorms, and the Zhuangzi of each family also came up with disaster information. Not to mention anything else, before the rice harvest, a few more rains like this, the yield will definitely be reduced. This year, the income of the Grange has not been scored, and now it is going to cut the meat again.

The prince was in a good mood, and King Xing instructed him to come out to meet the gentry and greet him for flood control and disaster relief......

It is estimated that after a quarter of an hour, an attendant came to pass the word, King Xing finished discussing things with local officials in the carrying hall, and the king drove to the Qiyun Palace.

When the prince heard this, he took everyone to the main hall to greet him.

By the time everyone stood still, the sound of whips could be heard outside.

After a while, surrounded by local civil and military officials in Anlu, King Xing entered the Qiyun Palace.

Even in the world, everyone knelt down to welcome the king.

Among the civil and military officials who drove into the palace with the king, Wang Qinghong was impressively in the ranks, and his position was relatively high, wearing a black veil on his head, and he was wearing a three-grade official uniform.

After thinking about it for a while, the idiot will understand the reason. Even if he is an official, he is also an official, he has no authority, but he has the status of an official, and his treatment is different from that of ordinary gentry.

King Xing came to his seat, opened his mouth and shouted, and then looked at the son.

Seeing that the prince nodded with a smile, King Xing said: "This summer's heavy rain has become a disaster, and the people's livelihood is difficult, and I can't bear to be alone. I also mentioned a thing or two about disaster prevention and relief with a few adults. It's just that the lonely man is thin, and I ask the villagers to help. ”

Everyone had already expressed their attitude, and naturally they were not verbose at this time, and bowed down one after another: "I am willing to drive for the prince (obey the prince's orders)!" ”

The atmosphere was high, the officials and gentry were diligent, and King Xing's face became more and more warm......
