Before you know it, a year has passed.

In this year, Chu Xinying and Qin Xuechu went from strangers to falling in love, and they experienced a lot of ups and downs, and these experiences became the coagulant of their relationship.

However, at this time, the northwest region encountered a thousand-year drought, and the people had no harvest, so there was no way to hand over the grain, and the country was experiencing a food crisis.

The people of the northwest are hungry, complaining, and hating this season.

There are even some things that have been hungry for a long time because of lack of food, and some people have not been able to hold on and die of hunger, which has caused great damage to the country's population growth.

For this reason, it is urgent to solve the grain problem in the northwest, and the emperor is frowning.

The food problem is a very thorny problem, and the northwest region is more serious, and there is not much food in the country, and there are too many refugees in the northwest.

If refugees from the northwest flood into the capital, the capital will be overcrowded and difficult to manage.

So, the emperor sent people to provide disaster relief, and unexpectedly, Chu Xinying, a foolish prince, was supported by everyone.

How can a fool be supported by so many people?

The emperor wondered, it was not easy for Chu Xinying to even take care of herself, how could she still help with disaster relief?

In fact, within this year, Chu Xinying had already done things in secret, and he had received the support of many people in the imperial court, but he was only acting in secret, and he couldn't let the three princes' henchmen know that Chu Xinying was pretending to be stupid.

"Zhong Aiqing, why did you all choose the Eighth Prince to relieve the disaster?" With such a big event, the emperor naturally didn't dare to rest assured.

Although Chu Xinying could get help from other disaster relief workers, he didn't understand anything, and he was afraid that he would be held back.

This is a major national matter, how can we act hastily?

So the emperor summoned officials who supported Chu Xinying to come over and inquire.

"I thought the third prince was better." All along, the emperor has been very satisfied with Chu Yufei's work, and this time Chu Yufei is naturally the best candidate in his heart.

"The third prince is good, but he has a lot of things to deal with, so let the eighth prince go to the disaster relief."

"Your Majesty, although the Eighth Prince is usually crazy and stupid, he is not ambiguous at all when he does serious things."

"Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince is not inferior to anyone......"

Almost all of the people who support Chu Xinying have been helped by Chu Xinying, these are loyal people who can gain Chu Xinying's trust.

The emperor really doesn't understand why so many people support Chu Xinying, but this matter has to be considered in the long run, and it must not be careless.

All the ministers seconded the proposal, but Chu Xinying on the side did not find it, but observed the emperor's expression, and he understood the emperor's concerns.

Sending a fool to provide disaster relief means that the imperial court does not care about the lives of the people in the northwest at all, which will indeed cause the anger of the people in the northwest, and the emperor should indeed oppose these proposals.

"You support the Eighth Prince so much, then you have to ask his opinion." According to the emperor's understanding of Chu Xinying, he thought that Chu Xinying would definitely refuse.

Although the emperor also wants to have a chance to perform with Chu Xinying, many things are not something that can be achieved by thinking.

"Xingze, what do you think?" The emperor asked Chu Xinying.

Chu Xinying, who was on the side, had been standing silently by the side and listening to everyone's discussion, he didn't expect that he would get the support of so many people, and he was a little happy in his heart.

Chu Xinying has pretended to be stupid for so long, in addition to escaping the queen's pursuit, another point is to improve his ability through this time.

And at this moment, Chu Xinying felt that the time was ripe, and he had the ability to do something for the country.

pretending to be crazy and stupid for so long, the real purpose is not to steal a living, but to find opportunities to find a place for yourself.

And now, the opportunity has finally come, and Chu Xinying should also pay attention to him.

Hearing the emperor's question, Chu Xinying didn't have any reaction, just looked at the emperor.

After a while, Chu Xinying spoke: "Your Majesty, please hand over this task to your sons, who will definitely live up to their expectations." ”

As soon as he heard Chu Xinying speak, the audience suddenly fell silent.

"The northwest region is facing a food crisis, and the country's food stocks are insufficient, Erchen believes that the people in the city can be encouraged to donate, and the donation is not too much, if every family is willing to donate a little, then the small amount will add up, and the northwest region can avoid this difficulty."

Chu Xinying said with a straight head, and the ministers present listened and nodded one after another.

"There is no grain harvest in the northwest, no grain has been handed over, and the national grain depot is indeed insufficient, and it is estimated that the people who have surplus grain to donate is indeed the best plan."

"I'm afraid that few people will take the initiative to donate." A minister worried.

When Chu Xinying heard it, he responded: "It's natural that the people are reluctant to donate, and the imperial court naturally can't treat the people badly, we can get food by bartering." ”

"Barter?"

But the emperor showed an expression of disbelief, he had never seen this serious Chu Xinying, and he was surprised for a while.

"Back to my father." Chu Xinying bowed slightly, and then said, "Either buy it from ordinary people at the market price, or exchange it for other items, Erchen believes that this will have a certain effect." ”

I saw the emperor ponder for a while and said, "This method is okay, but try to compress the time and not delay it for too long." ”

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry, disaster relief is not a difficult matter." Chu Xinying said confidently, "The imperial court collects grain to supply the northwest, this matter cannot be delayed, the northwest is far away from the imperial court, and it will take a long time on the road, we will hurry up." ”

Faced with Chu Xinying's sudden change, the emperor was full of doubts: "Why did you suddenly ......?"

Chu Xinying saw the emperor's doubts, so he said: "All along, it was the sons who deceived the emperor. Now that the country is in crisis, it is natural for the ministers to go all out and contribute to the country. ”

"The Third Emperor Brother's ability to do things is certainly better than mine, but he has more important things to do, and the Northwest Disaster Relief can be handed over to his sons."

"During this period of time, Erchen has not forgotten to learn to improve himself, but many of them are just on paper and have not had the opportunity to practice."

"You've always been playing dumb?" The emperor looked puzzled, "Why is this so?" ”

Of course, Chu Xinying couldn't say that it was to save his life, but he couldn't think of a good reason for a while, so he casually prevaricated.

"It's not important."

However, when the emperor saw Chu Xin's English character in front of him, he was naturally happy in his heart, and other specific reasons were put aside for the time being, and it was not too late to ask again in the future.

"The son now has the ability to share the burden for his father." Chu Xinying continued, "I implore my father and emperor to approve his son's participation in disaster relief. ”

The emperor was overjoyed: "Okay, you are fully responsible for disaster relief." ”

"Thank you, Father." Chu Xinying bowed her hands and was grateful, "The son will definitely live up to the trust." ”
