Xiao Zhen didn't understand why the emperor remembered to ask him today, but he guessed that it was probably just a question, and he didn't think that he could say a three, six, nine, why.

Therefore, after Xiao Zhen was stunned for a while, he didn't panic at all, he kept a face and said in a flat tone, "Erchen doesn't understand, my father is right how to decide." ”

The emperor seemed to be ignited by his anger all of a sudden, and threw a fold at him with a "snap", pointing at him and scolding, "Xiao Zhen, I let you go to the court for a few years, and you don't understand anything?" ”

Xiao Zhen was smashed, it didn't hurt or itch, and he didn't even have much fluctuation in his emotions, and he still said in a regular manner, "Erchen really doesn't understand, and my father never told Erchen that Erchen needs to understand this." ”

The emperor choked for a moment and looked at him with a grim face.

Xiao Zhen is very calm, and his back is straight.

Hou Liang has established a prince since he was a child, and the rest of the princes do not need to be extraordinary. Therefore, even if he wants that position in his heart, he will never show too much, because he knows that this is not what his father likes, and naturally it is not what the prince likes, he is mediocre in civil and military, so he will not cause trouble for himself, Houliang already has a prince, and then there is a stunning and gorgeous prince, the prince is afraid that he will not be able to sleep for a day.

What's more, his father has personally taught the prince since he was a child, spoiled the prince, valued the prince, and hoped that the prince would one day be able to take charge of himself and inherit the throne, and his son, has a mother concubine who is not treated by him, and has an unpleasant temperament, he doesn't like him, everyone knows it.

The needles in the main hall could be heard instantly, and the courtiers looked at their noses and noses, and they were motionless, as if they did not exist.

After a while, the emperor said with a calm gaze, "You go to Hengchuan County and cooperate with the Hubu Shangshu to provide disaster relief." ”

Xiao Zhen fell silent for a moment.

Even if it was Ling Hua, he didn't expect his father to suddenly let him go to Hengchuan County, so when the two of them discussed privately, what they discussed was to stop Xiao Ze from leaving the East Palace and let Hubu Shangshu take people to Hengchuan County.

The courtiers were also shocked, they didn't expect that His Royal Highness, who had not been liked by His Majesty for many years and was not taken seriously, would be entrusted with an important task by His Majesty.

Although Hengchuan County is now a disaster and a dangerous place, everyone knows that if the disaster is handled well, it is also a place that can make great contributions.

After being stunned for a moment, Hubu Shangshu glanced at Xiao Ze and lowered his head, "The old minister obeys the order." ”

Xiao Ze didn't say anything, didn't receive the order, and didn't thank him.

"Xiao Zhen!" The Emperor shouted, "What is your expression?" Not happy to go? ”

Xiao Zhen didn't know what expression to make, his mind quickly turned, revealing a puzzled look, "Why does my father think that his son can do this well?" ”

The emperor said with a dark face, "As a prince, how can you live every day without understanding anything, since you don't understand, you have to learn." If you don't study well, don't come back. ”

Xiao Zhen turned around and glanced at the shocked courtier, "What about the adults?" Not against it? ”

The emperor did not give everyone a chance to object, and slapped the armrest of the golden chair, "I have made up my mind!" Tell me the commandment. ”

Xiao Zhen saw that Emperor Chrysostom had opened his words, and it seemed that he was serious, although he didn't understand why he suddenly asked him to go to Hengchuan County, but after the question was affirmed, he still lowered his eyes and gave his hand, "Erchen has the order." ”

The courtiers looked at each other, and for a moment even the East Palace faction was stunned, not understanding what His Majesty meant. After so many years, today I suddenly attach importance to His Second Highness, is it because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has provoked His Majesty's anger, and His Majesty has other thoughts?

The people of the Donggong faction suddenly panicked, and the courtiers also secretly speculated, but because it was too inexplicable, no one really objected, even the old ministers who were full of mouths and couldn't do it, no one objected.

So, Xiao Zhen and Hubu Shangshu went to Hengchuan County for disaster relief The decision was so decided, because the disaster relief was urgent, so the emperor let the two set off that day.

In the early dynasty, the emperor did not ask Xiao Zhen to say more or give more instructions, but called Shen Yi'an to learn about the thieves who broke into Dali Temple and wanted to destroy the green forest dossier in the prison of Dali Temple.

Xiao Zhen's side used to be deserted, but now there are courtiers who see the wind and rudder, come to his side, and express their concern for him, what is the long way, His Royal Highness must be careful when he goes, and take care of Yunyun.

Xiao Zhen casually coped with two sentences, and together with Zhao Jiang, the head of the household, he went out of the palace.

At the gate of the palace, Zhao Jiang said to Xiao Zhen, "Second Highness, Your Majesty let you leave today, the old minister feels that he is really in a hurry, but the disaster is urgent, it is urgent, it cannot be delayed, the old minister thinks that we will set off before dark, a few hours of preparation time, what do you say?" ”

Xiao Zhen bowed, "I'm fine." ”

Zhao Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, although His Royal Highness was ordinary and ordinary, but fortunately, he had always been a rule-free and didn't like to cause trouble, and now it seems that he is also a style that can do anything, so he will get along with him along the way, and he must not be too tired, "The old minister will go back to the household department to prepare first, and he will set off at Shenshi." ”

"Okay." Xiao Zhen nodded.

Zhao Jiang immediately got into the carriage and left.

Zhao Jiang is a neutral faction, and as the secretary of the Ministry of Works, he did not plan to go to the disaster relief himself, but yesterday his close friend told him that he had been sitting in the position of the head of the Ministry of Household for too long, and now that Hengchuan County was in the water, didn't he want to take this opportunity to take the opportunity to further enter the cabinet? So, he pondered all night, and only this morning did he go to the court to ask for relief from the disaster.

He didn't know that it was Ling Hua's push behind him that triggered him to ask for disaster relief this morning, but instead it became a fight with the prince of the East Palace, which caused two groups of people in the court to quarrel, and a large number of people stood in line with him, advocating that it was more appropriate for him to go to Hengchuan County for disaster relief than the prince.

He was taken aback at the time, if he had known that the prince couldn't sit still in the East Palace and planned to go to Hengchuan County in person for disaster relief, he would not have said anything to ask for a decree, and now His Majesty didn't know what to think, and sent His Royal Highness to Hengchuan County to go to disaster relief with him, no matter whether he did a good job of disaster relief or not, His Royal Highness the Prince and the East Palace faction would hate him in the future.

After Zhao Jiang got into the carriage, he was also very helpless, but he could only take one step at a time.

On the way back to the house, Xiao Zhen instructed Leng Yue, the close guard, "Send her a message, I want to see her." ”

Leng Yue nodded.

What happened in the early morning soon spread to the Ling family.

The Ling family embroidered the auspicious clothes for several days in a row, and finally finished the embroidery in a hurry, and did not use the needle to embroider their wedding dress today, but waited for the news from the court.

Liuli sent the news back as soon as possible, with a shocked face, "Miss, guess what happened to Chao Shang earlier?" ”

"I'm not an immortal, how can I guess what's going on? Looking at your expression, I'm afraid something unexpected has happened to you. Ling Hua looked at her, "Say it quickly, don't sell it." ”

Liuli was shocked, "In the early court, Zhao Jiang, the head of the household, really asked for the order to go to Hengchuan County for disaster relief, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also made an excerpt last night, and His Majesty announced it in the morning court, but you can't imagine that His Majesty actually asked His Royal Highness to cooperate with Zhao Jiang, the head of the household department, to go to Hengchuan County for disaster relief together, and set off today." ”

Ling Hua was stunned.

She looked at Liuli, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly let Xiao Zhen go to Hengchuan County for disaster relief?" ”

You can't really be disappointed by Xiao Ze, and you plan to change the prince, right? She really didn't think that Xiao Ze's position was so easy to shake, and she didn't think that Xiao Zhen would be reused by His Majesty in this matter.

"This is really a surprise, the courtiers are also confused, and the Second Highness is afraid that he is also very confused." Liuli was puzzled, "I don't know what's going on with Your Majesty, why did you suddenly think of Your Second Highness?" Isn't His Royal Highness the Second Highness always regarded as an invisible person by His Majesty in the court? ”

Over the years, His Majesty has only had the crown prince in his eyes, and everyone knows that His Royal Highness is an ordinary and ordinary person who is not favored by the emperor, and even his mother can't help him.

Although, behind the Second Highness, there are young ladies and staff, but these are all behind the scenes, on the surface, he is just a prince who has no great talent, is not valued, and spends his days doing nothing in an idle position.

Ling Hua stood up, "Immediately go to the Second Prince's Mansion and wait for him to go down." ”

If there is no special event, she will never go to the door of the Second Prince's Mansion, and in the past ten years, she can count a slap. But today is different, she knows that Xiao Ze will set off immediately, and she will definitely want to discuss with her. Now the courtiers are probably paying attention to him, he can only go back to the house, it is not safe to see him elsewhere, only now that he has just left the court, she goes to the second prince's mansion in advance to wait for him so that he will not be noticed.

Liuli nodded, and hurriedly ordered someone to prepare the car, Ling Hua didn't even bother to change his clothes, so he hurried out of the house.
