Chapter 55
200,000 taels of silver were recovered, and the leader of the rogue was also captured, and the prince was very satisfied with this operation.
The follow-up matters were handed over to the Yamen of Lin'an County to deal with, and the prince continued to set off for Cangzhou City.
It was already evening when he arrived in Cangzhou City, and when the prince arrived, the officials of Cangzhou City naturally went to the city gate to greet him.
After bringing the prince and his party to the post station, Cangzhou Taishou planned to retire, but the prince didn't say anything.
An hour later, I was a little stunned when I learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived at the Cangzhou Taishou in the house, so I hurriedly went out to greet him.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The prince helped the Taishou up: "The Taishou doesn't have to be polite. ”
Cangzhou Taishou looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cautiously, and tentatively said, "I don't know what the prince has to do when he comes here at this time?" But over there, the post station is not well served? ”
The crown prince shook his head, "This palace came here at this time to discuss with Taishou, and Taishou sent someone to call the other adults first. ”
Hearing that it was an important matter, Cangzhou Taishou did not dare to delay, and hurriedly sent someone to call other officials.
After giving the order to go down, Taishou led the way to lead the prince to the study.
Suddenly, a subordinate ran in in a panic, almost colliding with Taishou, Taishou couldn't hold his face, and scolded: "There are distinguished guests, take a look at Zhang Zhangcheng's system!" ”
The subordinate was also taken aback, and immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "The adult forgives the sin, the slave has something urgent to report, so he collided with the adult, and the little one should be damned......"
The prince interceded for the subordinate: "This palace is really anxious to see him, Taishou might as well ask what happened?" ”
The subordinate was clever, knowing that this distinguished guest had a very heavy weight in the hearts of his own adults, and there was a distinguished guest to help him speak, so he didn't need to repeat it too much, and the subordinate immediately said: "It was the guard of the South City Gate who came to report that the minister had arrived, and now he is waiting outside the mansion!" ”
Satrap:......
I'm afraid it's not a fake, the prince is here, and the minister must have followed the prince from the north gate to be welcomed back to the post station by them, besides, isn't the real minister standing next to the prince?
Taishou felt that it was too bold for someone to pretend to be a minister, and he was about to tell the prince that he would deal with it, when he heard the prince talk.
"I think it's Lord Qi who has also arrived, but it's a coincidence, let's go and bring people in."
When the subordinate heard this, he glanced at Taishou, and when he saw that Taishou waved his hand, he went outside to bring people in.
Taishou looked at the prince, and then at Lu Yuanfeng and Han Danqing, who had been standing next to the prince, and felt that the prince was really good at playing.
Seeing that Taishou was puzzled, the prince took the initiative to introduce: "This is Lord Han Danqing Han, who is the auxiliary minister sent by his father to the palace, and this is the commander of Yulin Wei next to the palace, who is responsible for the safety of this operation." The one outside should be Lord Qi, the minister of the Imperial Mission, and the palace had other tasks assigned to Lord Qi before, so I didn't wait together, and I didn't expect that we would arrive together. ”
Taishou kept a professional smile, greeted each other with Han Danqing and Lu Yuanfeng, and did not ask what task the prince gave Qi Huan.
It's good to have some things tacitly, and it's just embarrassing to say them.
And Qin Tang thinks that he is sitting upright, so he is not even more worried about Qi Huan Weifu finding something in his private visit.
Qi Huan and Ke Xi followed their subordinates into the mansion, and Ke Xi saw the prince and others from a distance.
Unexpectedly, the prince was also here, Ke Xi ran over and threw himself into the prince's arms.
"Brother Prince, why are you here?"
"I've just arrived, too."
The prince pulled Ke Xi out and asked her to stand up, originally wanting to take a good look at her if she was hurt somewhere, but ended up with a flower face covered in mud.
Prince: It's so exciting, I didn't expect that one day I'd see such a dirty sister.
The prince endured it, but in the end there was still a smile in his eyes.
Lu Yuanfeng laughed out loud directly, stretched out his hand and pulled the flesh on both sides of Ke Xi's cheek out, and sneered: "Hey, let me see who this dirty little flower cat is, it turns out to be our Royal Highness Princess Pingle!" Oops, voila...... Whew! ”
Lu Yuanfeng screamed miserably, and looked at Qi Huan angrily: ", what are you doing Qi Huan?" ”
Ke Xi, who escaped from Lu Yuanfeng's clutches, saw Lu Yuanfeng screaming, looking like he was hurt by Qi Huan, and hid behind Qi Huan and made a grimace, "Yes, tell you to bully me!" Hum! ”
Lu Yuanfeng shouted: "Aren't I playing with you?" You see, I didn't even try it! ”
Ke Xi didn't appreciate it: "How can you pull this princess's face casually?" Slightly ......"
Outnumbered, Lu Yuanfeng was defeated, not only was the back of his hand red by Qi Huan, but no one was on his side.
Lu Yuanfeng: Little cabbage, yellow in the ground.
There was a lot of trouble, during which Qin Taishou called Mrs. Taishou over, Ke Xi was taken down by Mrs. Taishou to clean up, and Qi Huan, who was as embarrassed as Ke Xi, was also taken down by Xiao Si to clean.
After Qi Huan took care of himself, Xiao Si took him to the study before retreating.
In the study, all the people and others arrived, and after Qi Huan also arrived, the prince signaled to Qin Taishou and said the specific situation of the affected area now.
Qin Taishou: "The disaster-stricken area started from Qingyuan County next to Cangzhou City, and has been spreading to the south, affecting 28 counties including Qingyuan County and more than 200 large and small villages, because many of the victims' houses were washed away and had nowhere to go, so they went all the way north to Cangzhou City, and now the city has taken in tens of thousands of refugees, and many refugees have gathered at the south gate. ”
"At the south city gate, although there is no way to let the victims enter the city, the lower officials have already instructed them to go down, and they have also sent people to build a greenhouse as a temporary shelter, and they also arrange doctors to sit in the town every day to ensure the health of the victims, and regularly let people go outside the city to make porridge."
The prince looked at Qi Huan, and Qi Huan nodded.
Prince: "Taishou handled it well, but it was too hard to guard." ”
"This is all what the lower officials should do, and this is not the credit of the lower officials alone, it all depends on the cooperation of several other adults, and the lower officials can do this."
Several other officials hurriedly said that they did not dare and were humble to each other.
The crown prince was very happy, "You don't have to be modest, whoever should take this credit belongs to whom, and when this matter is successfully resolved, the palace will truthfully report to the emperor, but ......"
The prince's words changed, "If you let the palace know, if anyone takes advantage of the people's difficulties to make a refugee fortune, the palace will not be polite." ”
Frightened, the adults knelt on the ground, and hurriedly said, "The ministers don't dare." ”
"You don't have to be nervous, this palace is just making the bottom line of this palace clear in advance, as long as you do your best to do things for the people and work together to let the people of Cangzhou survive this flood, this palace will naturally reward you well."
"I will listen to the orders of the prince, and the ministers will do their best to assist His Royal Highness the prince."
The prince motioned for Taishou and the others to get up.
At this time, Qi Huan suddenly opened his mouth and looked at Taishou, "This official has something to understand and wants to ask Taishou." ”
Taishou: "Lord Qi, may I ask." ”
"Today, when Princess Pingle and I arrived outside the south gate to enter the city, we were stopped by the city gate guard, who told the official that if you want to enter the city gate, you must pay a certain amount of silver."
"I heard that the matter of entering the city to collect money began more than a month ago, I don't know, does Lord Taishou know about this matter?"
