Shaohua 37
After Shen Qing arrived in Yuzhou, he immediately took people to deal with the bandits, and within a few days, the bandits all lost their arrogance and fled in a hurry.
The relief food sent by the imperial court was also delivered to Yuzhou a few days later, and the Yuzhou state capital breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, what about His Royal Highness?" After he relaxed, he remembered the Eighth Prince.
"His Royal Highness went out with the people in the house to give porridge early in the morning." The servant replied.
"Your Highness Eight?" The Yuzhou Prefecture Government frowned, "Where has His Eighth Highness been recently?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Eighth has been in the mansion before, and it wasn't until the official food arrived a few days ago that he traveled with the people in the mansion."
"Yes." The state capital frowned slightly.
The Eighth Prince is indeed working with the people in the state capital now, distributing porridge to the people.
Originally, he just planned to stay in the City Lord's Mansion all the time and not cause chaos for everyone, but he had nothing to do in the mansion all the time, and everyone was more or less busy with the affairs of Yuzhou, but he was so idle, the Eighth Prince thought about it, and still came out with the people in the state capital to help.
He lowered his head and focused on filling a bowl of porridge for the people, with a calm expression on his face. In the face of the dirty people, there is no dislike at all.
He has traveled outside the capital for many years, and he has seen a little bit of everything, so the eighth prince naturally doesn't care about these little things.
When the Yuzhou Prefecture came over, it took everything into its eyes.
He stood aside and watched for a moment before stepping forward.
"Eighth Highness, just leave it to the people in the palace here, Your Highness doesn't have to bother with it."
The Eighth Prince rolled his eyes and said calmly, "It's okay, there is nothing to do here when His Royal Highness comes down, and it's good to help everyone." ”
The state capital paused for a moment, and saw that there was indeed no reluctance on the face of the eighth prince, so he did not persuade more.
Waiting for the state capital to leave, after following the state capital, after watching the whole process, the subordinates secretly said: "There are some discrepancies between the eighth prince and the rumors. ”
The Eighth Prince helped to distribute the porridge and walked around the city again, probably having some understanding of the damage caused by this disaster.
Emperor Dachu only allocated some grain and a little silver as compensation, but the eighth prince turned around and looked around, with that silver, it was estimated that it was not enough.
The eighth prince thought about it and went back to the city lord's mansion, asked his subordinates, and after learning that the state capital was in the mansion, he told his subordinates that he wanted to discuss something with the state government.
So the eighth prince was invited to the study, and the two chatted for a long time, and the Yuzhou Prefecture sent the eighth prince out, with a hint of agreement in his eyes.
However, he didn't show it, "What the minister has seen is very different from the rumors. ”
The Eighth Prince smiled, "Although there are many rumors that are very different, there should be no big discrepancies in the rumors of His Royal Highness. ”
The Yuzhou Prefecture was stunned.
The Eighth Prince's expression was calm, "This matter is over, and His Royal Highness will not disturb the state capital." ”
"Greetings to Your Highness."
The Yuzhou Prefecture sent off the Eighth Prince, and he stood in place and fell into thought.
What did the Eighth Prince mean by what he said just now?
Say he's no different from the rumors? But for so many days, the Eight Princes seen in the Yuzhou Prefecture are not the same as the rumors.
The Eighth Prince himself denied this, which made the Yuzhou Prefecture suddenly curious about the Eighth Prince.
The affairs in Yuzhou gradually calmed down, and then the state government commanded people to deal with the post-disaster affairs, and at the same time, Shen Qing also completely cleaned up the bandits.
The state capital is neither too manpower nor too little, Shen Qing thought about it for a while, and let the people he brought to help the state capital together.
He stayed in the state capital for a while and was idle.
At this time, Shen Qing had the opportunity to write a letter to his family.
Although the situation is stable now, everything is still being rebuilt, and he can't go back for a while, Shen Qing briefly talked about the current situation, asked about the current situation in the general's mansion, and put the letter aside.
The other picked up another piece of letterhead.
"To My Wife......"
He paused before slowly putting down his pen.
In the candlelight, Shen Qing's eyebrows seemed to fade away.
As soon as Shen Qing and the Eighth Prince stayed in Yuzhou, they stayed for nearly two months.
During this time, Yuzhou gradually regained its former prosperity and began to become lively, which was completely different from when Shen Qing and the Eighth Prince came before.
The Yuzhou Prefecture can finally take a rest, and he looks at the appearance of returning to prosperity now, and his eyes rarely show a trace of honor.
He happily invited Shen Qing and the Eighth Prince to visit the city and introduce them to the scenery of Yuzhou.
During this time, the Eight Princes also made a lot of efforts, and the state capital's sense of the Eight Princes became better and better.
After that, the state government also learned about the Eighth Prince through various channels, and the Eighth Prince was indeed a person who could enjoy it very well, but the state government noticed that although the rumors were so, the people's evaluation of the Eight Princes was recognized.
When the Eighth Prince traveled to the Chu State, although he kept a low profile and kept his name incognito, there would also be times when he was accidentally exposed, and there were some places where he needed to use his identity, and the Eighth Prince was never stingy.
So there were many whereabouts of the Eight Princes along the way.
Most of these messages are the gratitude of the down-and-out victims of the disaster who have been helped by the Eighth Prince, and the Eighth Prince has even handled several corruption incidents.
These are only known through the name of the Eighth Prince, and it can be imagined that the Eighth Emperor should have done more during the period when he traveled incognito in the Chu State.
After reading these news, the complicated feelings in the state capital were a little indescribable.
It is rumored that the Eight Princes are greedy for pleasure, which is not false, after Yuzhou regained its prosperity, the state capital also really saw the romance of the Eight Princes.
It didn't take long for the Eighth Prince to bring back a pair of sisters, but the family was still willing, and the state government didn't know what to say for a while.
But if you look at the Eighth Prince without this point, no matter how complicated the state capital's heart is, thinking of the current princes, thinking about it for a long time, I still sighed.
Soon after Yuzhou returned to prosperity, the Eighth Prince and Shen Qing also returned to the capital.
As soon as they arrived in the capital, Shen Qing and the Eighth Prince went to the palace and saw the Great Chu Emperor, Shen Qing was half a step behind, and his pace seemed not to be in a hurry, but the speed was not slow.
Before Emperor Dachu met with the two, he received a letter from the Yuzhou Prefecture, which wrote in detail that the Eighth Prince had done a lot of things in Yuzhou, and he was originally quite happy.
Seeing that the Eighth Prince actually brought back two women in Yuzhou, Emperor Chu's original satisfaction with the Eighth Prince fell back to the bottom.
"I know, you and General Shen are doing a good job."
The eighth prince arched his hand, "Father, the son has something to say. ”
He continued: "Erchen brought back two confidants from Yuzhou and wanted to accept them as side concubines. ”
"Whatever you want."
It stands to reason that these two people were just born in a small family, and it is far from qualified to be a prince's side concubine, and the side concubines of other princes are all women with better backgrounds selected after careful consideration and used to make friends with courtiers.
But Emperor Da Chu was also disappointed in the romance of the Eighth Prince, and seeing that the Eighth Prince had no idea of being motivated, he didn't bother to say this, so he waved his hand and agreed.
The eighth prince thanked Emperor Dachu and walked out of the palace with Shen Qing.
"General Shen is back to the General's Mansion?" The Eighth Prince stood on the carriage and looked at Shen Qing.
Shen Qing bowed.
"Then His Highness will go first." The eighth prince temporarily placed the two in a courtyard, and originally planned to wait for him to tell the Great Chu Emperor before taking the two back to the prince's mansion.
For the two of them to reach the position of side concubine, it is an unexpected thing for the eighth prince, which also means that he can be solemn and bring the two back to the mansion.
Thinking like this, the Eighth Prince has already begun to think about letting the people in the mansion prepare well.
Seeing the eighth prince leave, Shen Qing also got into the carriage of the General's Mansion.
He took out a book, but instead of reading it, he lowered his eyes and pondered it.
The eighth prince had no intention of taking the throne, and Shen Qing knew about it early on, but he didn't care about it.
All he needed was a person in his hands.
Shen Qing suddenly raised his eyes and said in a low voice, "Go faster." ”
Hearing the coachman's answer, Shen Qing leaned in the carriage and stared at the pages, but he couldn't turn a page for a long time.
The look in his lowered eyes looked as calm as ever, but those familiar with it would notice a hint of divergence if they looked closely.
After staying in Yuzhou for nearly three months, although there were some correspondence after that, Shen Qing still wanted to return to the general's mansion as soon as possible.
The carriage came to a grunt, and Shen Qing lifted the curtain and strode into the general's mansion.
The coachman who followed behind smiled kindly.
