The third prince, Xiao Huaimin, has one in twenty this year. The biological mother is the concubine of today's saint.

Xiao Huaimin has been in the court for several years, and he is meticulous and can let go of the next paragraph, and he has received some praise in the court. In August, there was a drought in Fujian, and the emperor sent him to Fujian for disaster relief.

The Imperial Study

"Third prince, Your Majesty invites you in" The former chief administrator Wu came to invite in person, Chief Wu is not young, he is a little fat, and he looks like a smiling Buddha when he sees anyone.

"Thank you Mr. Wu, I haven't returned to Beijing, I miss my father very much, I don't know if my father is all right" Mr. Wu is the person in front of the emperor, and he can be said to be the emperor's henchman for so many years. It is the respect of the prince, and the third prince is not easy to hold up in front of General Manager Wu, and his words are very polite.

"Your Majesty is fine, I know that the three princes are coming back, Your Majesty is happy, and now the crown prince and several other princes are inside, just waiting for the three princes," Manager Wu said with a smile.

Xiao Huaimin smiled, and then entered the imperial study. As soon as he entered, he saw that his brothers were all there. The crown prince was standing in the hall, looking like he was talking to the emperor.

"The son visits his father." Xiao Huaimin entered the house, first picked up the hem of his clothes and knelt down, and greeted the emperor. The emperor had a rare look of joy on his face today, and said to Xiao Huaimin, "Hurry up, let me take a good look." ”

Xiao Huaimin stood up, looked at the emperor and smiled. The Emperor looked at him for a while, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "I've lost some weight, and I look more lean." Yes, Xue Daoqin's excerpt has arrived, and I am full of praise for your performance in Minzhong. ”

"Lord Xue praises falsely, Erchen is young, and it all depends on Lord Xue's guidance to successfully complete the task assigned to Erchen by his father." Xiao Huaimin said humbly.

He was not arrogant, and the emperor was naturally more satisfied, "Okay, don't be modest." Xue Daoqin knows that person, and there are few times when he praises people. By the way, I'll go see your mother later, and she'll remember how long you've been after you've been gone for so long. ”

Xiao Huaimin thanked the emperor and walked to the vacant seat on the side and sat down, at this time the prince looked at Xiao Huaimin and said with a smile: "The third brother has worked hard in Minzhong for disaster relief, and people can see that it has been reduced a lot." ”

The crown prince was originally the eldest son of the emperor, and he is already twenty-five this year, and the Xiao family is handsome, more like his mother. Only the crown prince has good facial features and his own majesty. Looking with the emperor is like a mold printed.

"Brother Huang smiled." Xiao Huaimin looked at the prince and smiled gently, "Central Fujian is dry this year, and the climate is hot. In addition, the taste over there is very different from that in Beijing, and the younger brother has suffered a little bit over there. ”

"The third brother and the third brother heard that the people of Fujian eat everything, even the insects in the field can be made into vegetables, is it true" The one who spoke was Xiao Huaixu, the seventh prince, who was lively, not very old, with a round face and round eyes, and Su Li ate alone, so he was a little rich.

He is small, so the emperor does not restrain him, his biological mother Hui Concubine was only a concubine two years ago, and both mother and son have no ambitions, and they are happy in peace.

"Seventh brother, you really live up to your name as the god of food, the third brother went to Minzhong for disaster relief, and you can actually think of food. Could it be that you can really even eat insects," said the eighth prince, Xiao Huaijing, who looked at Xiao Huaixu.

"Eighth brother, what do you know" Xiao Huaixu turned his head to look at Xiao Huaijing, and said with great interest, "Life in the world is to taste all the flavors of the world, there are ancient Shennong, and all the herbs are tasted, how can I follow suit now?"

As soon as Xiao Huaixu's words came out, everyone in the room laughed, the prince was the eldest brother, looked at Xiao Huaixu and asked with a deliberate face, "Old Seven, Shennong tastes a hundred herbs for the sake of the common people in the world, you have to taste all the flavors of the world, but there is a saying"

"This still needs to be said" Xiao Huaixu was asked by the prince, and he was stunned for a moment, and everyone looked at him like that and laughed again. Even the emperor had a little smile in his eyes, and he seemed to be very satisfied with the harmony between the brothers and the brothers.

But the nine sons of Longsheng are different, the emperor has a total of seven sons and three daughters, in addition to the four princes and the fifth prince who died early, and now there is the eldest prince Xiao Huaiji, the second prince Xiao Huaide, the third prince Xiao Huaimin, the seventh Xiao Huaixu and the eighth Xiao Huaijing, which can be regarded as prosperous. But when there are more sons, there are more rights and wrongs. There are seven sons, and there is only one throne, even if the emperor sets up the crown prince early, it can't stop some people from having other thoughts.

The crown prince has been favored by the emperor for so many years, and his status is unshakable at present. But the emperor is in the prime of life, and the son is still long, who can say what will happen in the future, the second prince Xiao Huaide looked at Xiao Huaimin, who was talking happily with the old seven and eight, and then looked at the prince who was sitting at the head of the emperor with a gentle appearance of the eldest brother, and felt a little disdainful in his heart.

The Heavenly Family doesn't even have a father and son, let alone a brother. One by one, in order to please the emperor, they made such a brother, friend and brother like a brother, who is looking forward to who is good behind his back, Xiao Huaide himself is not pleasing to Xiao Huaimin now, the princes who have entered the court at the right age are now the three of them, and the status of the prince is different, there is no comparison. He and Xiao Huaimin are left, one and the other.

Xiao Huaimin's disaster relief errand was done well, the emperor was satisfied, and the reward was indispensable. This invisibly compares him to him, Xiao Huaide is arrogant and ambitious for the throne, how can he bear Xiao Huaimin's latecomers.

"The third child." Xiao Huaide spoke slowly, interrupting the conversation on the third prince's side, his biological mother Concubine Li was a beauty who paid tribute from foreign countries, so Xiao Huaide had a high nose and deep eye sockets, and looked a little foreign. He has a pair of eagle eyes, and he always brings three fierceness when he looks at people, not to mention others, even their brothers dare not easily provoke Xiao Huaide.

"How did I hear that when you were in Fujian for disaster relief, you mixed the soil and gravel in the porridge, and chopped up the bark of wild grass and trees, and put it into the rice grain for disaster relief" Xiao Huaide looked at Xiao Huaimin, hooked the corners of his mouth coldly, and continued, "Third child, the victims are also my people, you can't just do it because you are in a hurry to complete the task." ”

"Mud, dirt and gravel" Xiao Huaixu looked at Xiao Huaimin in disbelief, Xiao Huaimin was there, and he was not panicked at all because of Xiao Huaide's sudden attack. The prince looked at Xiao Huaide, his brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't speak, and ate his own tea.

"Three, third brother, is it true that you really feed the victims of the disaster, as well as weeds and tree bark" Xiao Huaijing also stumbled and asked, Xiao Huaimin put down the teacup in his hand, looked at them coming, smiled slightly, and nodded, "Yes, I did it." ”

"Not only did I mix the porridge water distributed by the porridge shed, but on the way to Minzhong, I also purchased a large amount of bran grass and aged mildew along the road, mixed them with the new rice distributed by the imperial court, and distributed them to the victims." Xiao Huaimin made no secret of what he had done, and the more his tone was understated, the more sensational it was to the ears of Xiao Huaixu and Xiao Huaijing, two princes who did not understand the suffering of the world.

"Third brother, how can you do this" Xiao Huaixu slapped the case and said angrily, "Bran and forage, it is all livestock and rice, how can old and moldy rice be eaten" He is still young, and he grew up in a rich and noble township, even if His Majesty has meritorious teaching, he has not developed an ignorant appearance of not eating millet yet, but for the son of the disaster victims, he has only heard of it and never seen it, and when he heard this, he was inevitably filled with righteous indignation.

"Yes, third child, how dare you do this" Xiao Huaide laughed, his face looked a little forested, "Those are all the people of my Heavenly Empire." If you do this, you will put your father's face in the face of the emperor."

"Dick." Seeing that Xiao Huaide was talking more and more, the prince couldn't help but warn, "The third child naturally has his reasons for doing this, and you can't speculate indiscriminately." Xiao Huaide was taught a lesson by the prince, and he was even more angry in his heart, he turned to the prince and asked unceremoniously, "I don't see any reason for doing this, why, looking at the meaning of the eldest brother, he actually agrees with the third child."

The atmosphere in the imperial study became tense for a while, Xiao Huaixu and Xiao Huaijing sat in their positions and bowed their heads silently, Xiao Huaimin was calm and composed, Xiao Huaide was menacing, and the prince couldn't see the attitude.

"Now that we've talked about this, let's talk about it." The emperor glanced around and said, "Prince, if it were you, would you do this?"

When the emperor asked, the crown prince bowed down to the emperor and saluted, "Back to my father, my sons dare not speak freely." However, the excerpts in Fujian have also been seen by Erchen. Last year, the harvest in Fujian was much less than in previous years. Since April this year, central Fujian has experienced first flooding and then drought, and there has been no harvest of farmland grains. A large number of peasants could not survive, so they could only flee to the towns and stores of central Fujian. ”

"In addition, there have been bandits in central Fujian, and it has just been calmed down in June, so it can be said that the house leak happened to rain overnight." The prince said reasonably, "The disaster victims and displaced people are mixed together, and there are inevitably people with ulterior motives who make trouble in the name of the disaster victims. Disaster relief may seem simple, but it is actually difficult. ”

"Big brother, what are you talking about so much, but my father asks you, if you are replaced, will you be like the third brother, treat the disaster victims as livestock, and give them some bran and forage and old mildew." Xiao Huaide interjected, the crown prince paused, looked at the emperor sitting above, and then sighed helplessly, lowered his head and said, "I will." ”

As soon as the prince's words came out, Xiao Huaide, who was still a little proud to have exposed Xiao Huaimin's fig leaf, instantly froze, and he glanced at the prince in surprise, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"Big brother, what's the matter" Xiao Huaixu was taken aback and said in disbelief.

"Oh, don't you think, this is a light human life, it is a practice" The emperor looked at the prince with interest and asked, Xiao Huaide saw that the emperor did not look angry at all, and even faintly appreciated it, his heart tightened, and he wondered if he had done something wrong

"Back to my father, the sons and daughters thought" The prince paused, thought about it and chose a more euphemistic statement, "The victims of the disaster eat these grains mixed with soil and bark, but I am afraid that they will not be able to thank the court in five ways, and they themselves do not feel that they have been lightly treated), so why should others be resentful for them." ”

"How can it be that people eat bran materials and be grateful to Dade" Xiao Huaijing disagreed, "Being treated as a beast, where is there anyone who is not angry"

The crown prince smiled and shook his head, and the emperor remained silent. However, Xiao Huaimin looked at the indignant two younger brothers, opened his mouth leisurely, and said, "Life is going to be gone, who cares if you are a human or a beast, only those who are alive are human" The content of the chapter is trying to recover, please visit it later.
