Chapter 14: The Prince
Ling Hua really didn't mean to toss Qin Huan this time, she really had something, and before going out, she received an urgent report from Cao Yun.
The report was 200,000 stone of military rations transported from the Huai River to the Liangzhou garrison, which passed through Youzhou and was detained, on the grounds that the garrison in Youzhou had no food.
The Wen family in Youzhou is the maiden family of the crown princess.
If this matter was not premeditated, and it was not instigated by the prince behind her back, she didn't believe that the Wen family dared to detain military rations?
She thought for a while, and then ordered, "Prepare the car, and I will go to the palace to see Your Majesty." β
This matter is naturally to be told to Your Majesty.
But telling His Majesty is not the purpose, but to let the 200,000 stone grain be smoothly transported to the Liangzhou garrison. Otherwise, their hard work to win Zhou Wu's trust will be broken.
Having done so much, it's a pity not to say it's broken, just to say
If Xiao Zhen can't win the trust of Zhou Wu, the commander of Liangzhou, and can't let him take refuge in him, then he will lose a big help, and more seriously, if Zhou Wu takes refuge in the prince because of the lack of food, then the garrisons of Youzhou and Liangzhou in the northwest will all be submissive to the prince, it is conceivable that Xiao Zhen has no soldiers in the northwest, and it will be even more difficult to mix in the future.
Ruri also knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately ordered someone to prepare the car.
Ling Hua bathed and changed clothes, and after packing up, he rode into the palace.
Halfway through, Ling Hua took the rare time to remember to make an appointment with Qin Huan, and said to the outside of the car, "Hefeng, you send someone to Juxian Tower and tell Qin Huan that I will make an appointment with him another day." β
And the wind should be.
Liuli whispered, "Miss, don't you tell the Second Highness?" β
"It's useless to tell him, he can't come forward, he can't contaminate military power and military rations at all. so as not to make His Majesty suspicious. Ling Hua shook his head.
Liuli said worriedly, "If Your Majesty calls the prince in this matter, and the prince insists that Youzhou is short of military rations, and Your Majesty faces the prince, this batch of military rations will be given to Youzhou first, Miss, can you win the prince?" β
"It's just a tiger's mouth, whoever is ruthless wins." Ling Hua sneered, "It's not like I haven't fought with him. Although His Majesty is towards the crown prince, he also has a weakness. β
Liuli looked at Ling Hua.
Ling Hua sneered and said indifferently, "Heavy power, heavy checks and balances are Your Majesty's weaknesses. Otherwise, His Majesty would not have supported the Ling family to support me back then, wouldn't he just find someone to check and balance the prince? O Fatherly love of the Son of Heaven, heh. β
Ruri instantly understood.
At that time, the young lady knocked on the drum to sue the emperor, although it was the prince and the prince, but it was the prince of the East Palace. The fall of the crown prince was a heavy blow to the prince's power, and since then he has also formed a feud with the prince.
However, Miss is not afraid of enmity with the prince, after all, when she was six years old, Her Royal Highness saved Her Miss's life, and Her Royal Highness had already taken refuge in Her Royal Highness.
The carriage came to the palace, Ling Hua handed over the palace card, and entered the palace smoothly.
She has the right to enter the palace at any time with the special approval of His Majesty, and she does not need to fold it in advance, and comes directly to the imperial study.
The prince's little eunuch Xiao Wangzi stood outside the imperial study and waited, saw Ling Hua, turned his head, and when he didn't see it, he gave her the back of his head.
Liuli thought to herself, the prince seemed to have gotten the news, and ran to wait for the young lady in advance.
Today, it's an uphill battle.
Gonggong Zhao walked out of the imperial study, smiled and bowed his hand to Ling Hua, and said kindly, "Hello Miss Ling, Your Majesty invites you to come in." β
Ling Hua nodded, straightened out his clothes, and entered the imperial study with elegant steps.
The emperor was happily drinking tea with the crown prince and his son.
"Ling Hua greets Your Majesty, and meets His Royal Highness the Prince!" Ling painted a blessing and saluted.
was supposed to bow down, but Ling Hua injured her knee when she knocked on the Dengwen drum, and the emperor took pity on her young and tenacious heart, so he spared her from bowing.
"Excuse me!" The emperor waved his hand, looked at Ling Hua kindly, and motioned to Gonggong Zhao to give her a seat, "Why is it so much thinner than the last time I saw Qing?" β
Ling Hua sat down and said with a smile, "I'm not used to eating the flavor of Longxi." β
"It turned out that I was hungry and thin." The emperor laughed, "Now that you have returned to the capital, take care of it carefully, don't go out again, how can you always run outside in the wind and rain?" Is there anything for the people below to do, otherwise what is it to raise them for? β
Ling Hua nodded, "What Your Majesty said is that if there are no special circumstances, I won't be out of Beijing this year." β
"Miss Ling's marriage should also be handled, right?" Prince Xiao Ze took over.
"Yes, I remember you sixteen. It's time to hurry. The emperor suddenly, "Is that kid from the Anguo Mansion still honest?" β
"Qin Huan, you are obedient to be disciplined by Miss Ling!" Xiao Zepi looked at Ling Hua with a smile, "Right? Miss Ling? You sent someone to your fiancΓ© three years ago to take care of him. Qin Huan still doesn't even have a connecting room. β
The emperor obviously knew about this as well, and pointed at Ling Hua with a smile, "You said you, why are you so domineering?" It's hard for Mrs. Anguo to like you, no opinion. β
"The old lady of An Guo doesn't dare to talk to Miss Ling if she has an opinion, she is so powerful, the old lady of An Guo has to hold back if she doesn't like it." Xiao Ze stared at Ling Hua, "Bengong is not wrong, right?" β
Ling Hua smiled, facing Xiao Zepi's smiling face, and his tone was extremely gentle, "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is right. β
Xiao Ze choked and punched the cotton, and he couldn't breathe for a long time.
The emperor glanced at the crown prince and said to Ling Hua, "The Anguo Mansion dares to have an opinion? Don't ask, Ling Hua's talent, if it weren't for the belly for marriage, how could the Anguo Mansion take advantage of this? Since you have got a bargain, you have to suffer some grievances. β
Ling Hua smiled, "I am a fan of cleanliness, I don't like to share my husband with others, and I also rely on Your Majesty's support to dare to play a little bit with my heart." I don't dare to take care of the Anguo Mansion, even if I am my fiancΓ©, I must always be a little attentive to those who live a lifetime. Sending someone to put her next to her fiancΓ© was also discussed with the old lady, and if the old lady did not agree, she would have withdrawn from the marriage that year. Speaking of which, it is also considerate of each other, you and I are willing. β
The prince scoffed, so considerate of each other, you and I are willing. Does the Anguo Mansion dare to be considerate and reluctant?
The emperor nodded, and no longer looked into details, "You entered the palace today, but there is something important?" β
Ling Hua has no big deals, and never enters the palace.
Ling drew his head, did not avoid the prince, and said to the emperor, "The minister has just received an urgent report, and the 200,000 stone military rations dispatched by Caoyun to Liangzhou have been withheld by Youzhou. Youzhou said that there was a shortage of military food, but as far as the minister knew, there was no shortage, because the Wen family resold 50,000 stone of grain a month ago. Even if it is lacking, it is just a lack of shortfall in the treasury of the imperial court. Therefore, the minister has no ability to send the grain out of Youzhou to Liangzhou, after all, Youzhou is the princess's maiden family, and it is the father-in-law of His Royal Highness the Prince. β
