In the imperial study, the emperor summoned Chu Zheng and Huo Sijin and praised them. The floods in Huzhou occur every year, and every year the imperial court also sends Qin to relieve the disaster and assist in dealing with the peach blossom flood, but none of them satisfies the emperor. And this time, Chu Zheng and Huo Sijin did it.

"The management strategies of Peach Blossom Xun are all from the hands of Huo Changjin, and the sons think that they are meritorious ministers and should be rewarded." Chu Zheng said to the emperor Zhengse.

Long before they came back, they had already handed over the excerpt, how to solve the peach blossom flood matter, who played what role, the excerpt was clearly written in 1510. Not to mention Chu Zhengti, the emperor also had the intention of rewarding Huo Sijin.

Peach Blossom has been a major heart disease of the emperor for many years, but now Huo Sijin has cured this heart disease, the emperor can not like it, and immediately said with a smile: "Meritorious ministers, of course, should be rewarded." Huo Changjin! ”

Huo Sijin bowed his hand, "Your Majesty." ”

"You have such a talent, you have been a little wronged to make a long history in the East Palace, so you will enter the court as an official in the future." The officials in the court are virtuous, there are very few talented people, and the emperor has always been interested in promoting a group of people with real materials.

The emperor had such thoughts, but Huo Sijin didn't, she knelt down on her knees, "Your Majesty Longen, Weichen should have lived up to the emperor's grace, but Changjin is young and has never participated in the imperial examination, and he has already been confirmed as a long history of the East Palace. ”

The implication was that he was unwilling, and the smile on the emperor's face suddenly faded a little.

"It's okay for Changjin to be said a few words, but if people talk about His Majesty's favoritism, then Changjin's sin will be great, and I ask Your Majesty to withdraw your order, so as not to damage Your Majesty's heavenly prestige."

The smile on the emperor's face vanished, "Nonsense! No one has handled the matter of peach blossom flood better than you, I reuse talented people, who dares to talk about it! ”

Although he is the emperor, sitting on the dragon chair, bowed down by thousands of subjects, what he says is the holy decree, and no one dares to disobey it, but in fact, his words and deeds are subject to the restrictions of the courtiers. In recent years, the emperor has promoted many people with lofty ideals from poor families, and courtiers have many opinions, and they will give advice at every turn.

Being mentioned by Huo Sijin like this, the emperor instantly remembered some unfriendly scenes, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sway in his heart. Although Huo Sijin has made great contributions, she is still young, and she is not yet the age of the crown, if she is entrusted with a heavy responsibility, I am afraid that the courtiers below will not be able to sit still.

One or two courtiers have opinions, and the emperor can suppress them, but there are too many people, and he can't cut them all down.

Huo Sijin had expected the emperor to have this reaction, and seeing that he had already hesitated, he immediately struck while the iron was hot, "Your Majesty, on this trip to Huzhou, Weichen is going with His Royal Highness the Prince, and Weichen just obeys His Highness's orders, which is really not a great achievement, and please think twice." ”

The emperor was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, it's a good thing for young people to be modest, you are still young, and there will be many opportunities in the future, so you can experience more time by the prince's side." However, I have always rewarded and punished clearly, and there is no doubt that you have made a great contribution this time, and you should be rewarded. ”

"Someone, the purpose."

As soon as the emperor shouted, the eunuch next to him immediately bowed down to the marquis, only to hear His Majesty the Emperor say slowly: "Huo Changjin, the son of the Marquis of Jingbei, has a loyal temperament, has both ability and political integrity, and is specially given the title of Marquis of Jingbei and will inherit the marquis in the future." ”

The position of the prince of the marquis has always been the successor of the previous marquis, unless this person is not virtuous and notorious, under normal circumstances, no matter who the request is, the emperor will agree. The emperor also knew a little about the embarrassing affairs of the Hou of Jingbei, but the Hou of Jingbei did not ask for the decree to establish the prince, and the Hou of Jingbei turned a blind eye to the family affairs of the Huo family, and he did not know.

Now the situation is different, for many years Taohuaxun has been the emperor's heart disease, has not been well solved, this problem is partial Huo Sijin solved, which shows its ability. The emperor couldn't help but be impressed by this fifteen-year-old boy.

Such a great talent should be reused, since she can't be allowed to enter the court as an official for the time being, then she can be appointed as the prince of the Hou Mansion. It can not only make the courtiers have nothing to say, but also reward the meritorious officials, the best of both worlds.

As for how Jingbei Hou Huo Kun would react, the emperor had no scruples at all. Huo Sijin is the eldest son of the Marquis of Jingbei, and his talents and character are outstanding, and the name under this holy decree is justified, and the Marquis of Jingbei dares to have opinions!

She was canonized as the prince of Jingbei Hou?

Hearing this, Huo Sijin was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him, "Weichen Xie Your Majesty Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Although she doesn't care about the position of the prince of Jingbei Hou, but the position of the prince falls into her hands, if the Jingbei Hou and Zhou family want to be demons in the future, they will have to weigh it.

This is really good news, Huo Sijin was so happy in her heart that she came out of the imperial study, and the corners of her lips were still smiling shallowly.

"Are you happy to be crowned the prince?"

Chu Zheng's voice came from his ears, Huo Sijin subconsciously raised his eyes, smiled and nodded, "Happy." ”

Looking at the light and shallow smile on the corner of her lips, this is a sense of pleasure from the heart, Chu Zheng rarely sees such a smile on her face, and he can't help but raise his phoenix eyes slightly, "The prince of the Hou Mansion is just a false title, if you choose to enter the court as an official, your status will be higher." ”

The prince of the Hou Mansion sounds good, but in fact he is just the shadow of his ancestors, and he has no real power, so he is not as good as an official in the court.

Huo Sijin shook his head, "Don't hide it from Your Highness, Changjin doesn't want any high-ranking officials, but he just doesn't want to be trampled on by some people, and he is given the title of the prince, which is enough." ”

Yes, enough.

She is the prince of Jingbei Hou, and as long as she is there, the Zhou family will not want to establish "her son" as the son. She is the rightful heir of the Marquis of Jingbei, and the subordinates in the mansion do not dare to treat her mother Yang lightly.

"You're an easy one to satisfy." Chu Zheng chuckled lightly, and then strode away.

Huo Sijin was a few steps behind, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, was it easy to be satisfied? Of course not. If she was really Huo Changjin, of course she would choose to enter the court as an official, but she was a daughter, and the tragic experience of her previous life, she didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past in this life.

Today she is the son of the Marquis of Jingbei, and the next day Huo Changjin dies, the status of Huo Sijin, the younger sister of the Marquis of Jingbei, will be higher and more solid.

has already reported to the emperor, this errand is officially over, as for Du Yancai, he was taken to the prison of the Criminal Department and handed over to the Third Division to deal with. After Huo Sijin left the palace, he went straight back to the Jingbei Hou Mansion.

Counting it, she has been away from home for more than two months, and her mother Yang must miss her very much, and Huo Sijin also misses her mother very much. When he returned to the Hou Mansion, the first thing Huo Sijin did was to ask his mother Yang for peace.

Qingzhi Garden

Yang looked at his daughter who had been away from home for a long time, and suddenly burst into tears, "Jin'er, you're finally back." ”

He stroked his daughter's thin little face with his hand, and muttered in his mouth: "I am thin and haggard, I must have neither eaten well nor slept well." My poor child, I've hurt you......"

was originally a delicate daughter, but because of her selfishness, she lived as a man, and now she has to work hard like a man, Yang felt guilty, and tears fell.

Huo Sijin held his mother's hand and smiled gently, "Mother, the child is fine, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince takes care of the child a lot, the child didn't suffer much, but was in a hurry to come back to see his mother, so his face was a little haggard, and it would be fine to go back and sleep the child when he turned around." ”

When he spoke, his wrist was accidentally exposed, Huo Sijin's eyes were quick, and he quickly retracted his arm until his sleeve blocked it. There is no other reason, there is an ugly scar lying quietly on the wrist of Hao, which is as white as jade, which was accidentally scratched when he went to Huzhou to inspect the river, and Huo Sijin didn't want Yang to know about these things.

Fortunately, Yang was looking at her with tears in his eyes, and he didn't notice her small movements.

"Yes, yes, you just came back, you must be tired, you must be tired, you should have a good rest." Yang wiped his tears, "Jin'er, you go and rest, anyway, you are back now, if you have anything to say, you will talk about it when you are rested." ”

Even though Yang had a lot of words in her stomach and wanted to say to her daughter, but her daughter was tired, she had to endure it and couldn't delay her daughter's rest.

Huo Sijin nodded, and was about to get up to leave, but there was a voice from the subordinate outside, "Young Master, master, please come over immediately." ”
