Chapter 48
"The sons are willing to share their father's worries."
The prince was the first to stand up and speak.
Chang Shaoqing of Dali Temple came out to object: "No, Cangzhou is in the midst of floods, the rain has not stopped, what will happen is unknown, how can the prince, as the prince of a country, go to such a dangerous place?" ”
"The minister seconded the proposal, it is really inappropriate for the prince to go, if the prince has three longs and two shorts, wouldn't it shake the foundation of the country?"
"The minister objected, the prince, as the prince of a country, should lead by example, if he didn't do it because of danger, wouldn't the prince become a greedy person who was afraid of death? The reputation of the prince is hindered. ”
"The minister seconded the ......"
“……”
Seeing that the ministers were about to quarrel again, the emperor asked Chang Shaoqing, who was the first to stand up against it: "Aiqing thinks that the prince is not suitable, so Aiqing will tell me who is suitable." ”
Chang Shaoqing: "In addition to the crown prince, whether it is King Wen, King Shun or King Ping, the minister thinks that it is okay, if there is a prince with him, it can not only show the benevolence of the heavenly family to the people, but also let the people be grateful to the heavenly family, and will not put the prince of a country in danger." ”
The emperor nodded, "Aiqing has a point. As he spoke, he looked at the sons who had been standing in front of him as a background board: "Then the three of you, who wants to go to Cangzhou for disaster relief?" ”
Although King Wen was a little cautious, he also knew that he had a few catties and taels, and as Chang Shaoqing said, it was uncertain whether Cangzhou was safe or not, and King Wen didn't want to go to Cangzhou to suffer, so he shook his head like a rattle: "Erchen won't go!" ”
The Emperor looked at King Shun.
King Shun scratched his head, and said a little entangled: "Erchen really wants to share his father's worries, but my father also knows that my marriage with Ah Shu is approaching, if I go to Cangzhou, I don't know when I will be able to come back, if I miss the wedding date, Erchen doesn't know how long I have to wait to marry Ashu, so Erchen doesn't want to go to Cangzhou." ”
The emperor did not feel angry because of this, but laughed and scolded: "You are in a hurry." ”
Then he looked at King Ping: "Where is King Ping?" ”
King Ping: "The marriage date of the sons and daughters is next year, and there is no trouble for the four emperor brothers, so the sons are willing to share the worries of the father and the prince." ”
Feeling that the emperor's scouting gaze had been on him, King Ping lowered his head, afraid that the emperor would see something in his eyes.
This is a good opportunity to enter the field of vision of the people and courtiers, and he wants to seize this opportunity to enter the court in one fell swoop and gain the right to speak, instead of standing at the front and watching as he did every time before.
And when he has the right to speak in the court, there will be more opportunities to win over the courtiers, and there will also be some ministers who feel that they can't get much benefit from assisting the prince because they can't get close to the prince, and they will take the risk of pressing the treasure on him......
Who doesn't want to be in power from the power of the dragon?
The prince's side is saturated with talented people, and those who can't catch up will naturally choose a person to play with the prince again.
And he is the best candidate......
"Rong Zhen will think about this matter again, Xu Shangshu, you prepare 200,000 taels of silver first, and I will send someone to send these 200,000 taels of silver to Cangzhou Taishou for comforting the victims and rebuilding houses."
"Wechen obeys."
……
Before the candidate for Cangzhou was decided, the news came that the disaster bank had been robbed.
"Ridiculous! This silver has been delivered to the door of the house, can it still be robbed, when the guards who escort the disaster silver are all eating dry food? When did the rogue be so capable! Examine! Check it out to me! ”
"The emperor is angry!"
The courtier fell to his knees.
"Prince!"
"The son is here."
"I order you, take your Yulin Guard, I will send another thousand guards to you, this time you will personally escort the disaster silver to Cangzhou, in addition to distributing all the disaster silver to the people, but also to find out about the robbery of the disaster silver."
"The retainers obey."
"In addition, he ordered Qi Huan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, to be the minister of the Qincha, Han Danqing, the prince of the Korean dynasty, to be the auxiliary minister, and Lu Yuanfeng, the commander of Yulinwei, to go to Cangzhou with the prince to assist the prince in handling Cangzhou affairs and protect the prince's safety."
"The ministers obey."
……
Without further ado, the prince and the others tidied up a little, and when Xu Shangshu counted the 200,000 taels of silver, it was time to set off.
The prince traveled, and hundreds of officials sent him off.
After the group set off, Lu Yuanfeng looked back from time to time.
Standing on the city wall, the most conspicuous thing was the emperor in a bright yellow dragon robe, and the bright and generous imperial concubine beside him, but he didn't see the small figure.
Lu Yuanfeng looked back more than a dozen times, until he walked away, the people on the city wall could no longer see clearly, and he only knew that the hundred officials were still standing on the city wall, and Lu Yuanfeng was completely dead.
Lu Yuanfeng glanced at the prince and pretended to ask casually: "His Royal Highness the Prince, why didn't you see Princess Pingle out of the palace to see you off?" ”
Alas, this is a few months of hard work, if something happens, there may be no way to rush back to Beijing during the New Year, Pingle, a stinky girl, didn't come to see him off!
The prince glanced at Lu Yuanfeng, "If you don't come, you won't come, how much trouble do you remember?" ”
“……”
Lu Yuanfeng felt bitter in his heart.
Since Qixi Festival, he has never seen Ke Xi again, and originally thought that Ke Xi would see him off, he had to take a good look at Ke Xi to comfort the pain of lovesickness that he would not see in the next few months.
As a result, Ke Xi didn't come to see him off, and Lu Yuanfeng was a little disappointed.
Lu Yuanfeng couldn't help but look at Qi Huan on the other side of the prince.
Of course, he couldn't see anything from Qi Huan's always calm face, he might have felt that Qi Huan was stable and reliable before, but now he feels ......
Hehe, thoughtful old man!
In addition to escorting the silver taels, there are cabs in the front and back to surround the carriages escorting the silver taels, in addition to containing some daily necessities, the front carriage is used to rest for the crown prince and the ministers, in case of emergency.
The prince's status is noble, and when he is resting, he naturally can't let the prince sleep in the wilderness with a group of old men.
As for Lord Qi...... Lord Qi is a Wenchen, I heard that Wenchen's body is very delicate, don't look at Lord Qi is now riding on a horse and majestic, and he can't insist on taking the carriage after an hour or two!
Because I have to hurry, I don't have to think about the guest house or anything, so I can only sleep on the ground in the wilderness.
When it got dark, for the sake of safety, the prince ordered to stay in place and rest.
The prince went to his carriage and lifted the curtain.
In the carriage, Ke Xi and Zhang Yunxuan fell asleep in a ball, and when they heard the movement, Zhang Yunxuan woke up first and met the prince's eyes.
It's gentle, shining like a star......
Zhang Yunxuan's old face turned red, and she subconsciously pulled the blanket over her head.
The prince was amused by Zhang Yunxuan's reaction, and said softly, "Get up and eat something." ”
Afraid that Zhang Yunxuan would be embarrassed, the prince got out of the carriage first.
Zhang Yunxuan breathed a sigh of relief and adjusted her heartbeat, which woke Ke Xi up.
After the two got out of the carriage, Ke Xi was still hanging on Zhang Yunxuan, yawning, and didn't seem to wake up.
The prince stretched out his hand and his brain collapsed, and Ke Xi was agitated, and glanced at the prince resentfully.
Fortunately, I finally got a little spirited.
The three of them walked towards the fire.
Lu Yuanfeng glanced up casually, then pointed at Ke Xi and Zhang Yunxuan behind the prince, with a shocked expression: "You, you...... You ......"
