The sun is rising.

The gate of Jinhua Hall is wide open.

The emperor was dressed in a bright yellow embroidered dragon robe, and sat on the dragon chair at the highest place.

The ministers and officials below knelt and bowed.

"Long live the Five Emperors, long live, long live."

"Zhong Aiqing is flat." The emperor was happy, waved his sleeves, and motioned for the officials to stand up.

The hundred officials stood firm, and they all swept the smile on the emperor's face with their afterglow.

Today's emperor seems to be in a good mood.

The hearts of these courtiers also relaxed a lot.

"Hehehe." The emperor laughed loudly, "Zhong Aiqing, can you find that my dragon heart is very happy and very cheerful today?" ”

"Found it." The courtiers answered.

Prime Minister Jiang Cheng bowed his head and said: "As soon as the emperor came over, Weichen felt that the emperor was different today, which can be described as a spring breeze." I don't know if the emperor has encountered any happy events. ”

"Of course, I've met a happy event." The emperor said: "It is not only a happy event for me, but also a happy event for you, and a happy event for the people." ”

Prime Minister Jiang Cheng hurriedly said: "Then the emperor will tell me quickly, what kind of happy event it is, and let the ministers and others be happy together." ”

The emperor nodded deeply, and his gaze fell directly on Qin Qiling's body, "Hehe, prince, I want to praise you well." ”

"Huh?" Qin Qiling was a little stunned, "Why did my father say this?" ”

"Hmph, I'm telling you, I got the news this morning. It is said that this year's flood disaster in the south has been handled particularly well, and almost no people have been killed because of it. ”

"Really?" Qin was overjoyed.

"Of course it's true, am I going to lie to you? Hehe, this is all the work of the prince, as early as when there was no flood in the south, you told me to prepare early. I didn't think so, but then there was a flood.

Because of the prince's preparations, the flood did not hurt our people at all, and now the people have been moved to a safe place, and life is still good. ”

"Happy, happy." The courtiers said again and again.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really prescient."

"The prince, he is really resourceful and sympathetic to the suffering of the people, he is a rare prince."

The courtiers are all grass on the wall, and they are not full of energy to praise this prince at this time.

Qin Qiling was not surprised by this, but he was still very humble and said: "As the crown prince, I will naturally sympathize with the suffering of the people, otherwise in the future, how can I do it." ”

Prime Minister Jiang Cheng smiled, "Your Highness is really reasonable, it is a great blessing for my Yan Dynasty to have such a prince." ”

Qin Qiling glanced at him lightly and did not respond.

What the Jiang family has been doing all these years, he still doesn't know at all.

Such a hypocritical conversation is really pointless.

At this time, I heard another burst of laughter from the emperor, "Eh, I haven't finished my words yet, so you guys are happy?" ”

"Is there anything else good about my father?" Qin Qizhi asked as if surprised.

"Hmph, that's a good question. I tell you that this time the crown prince did more than just solve the floods in the south. It is also because in the process of allocating the disaster relief grain funds, it was discovered that there were many corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the localities, and these guys filled their own pockets, keeping the good ones for themselves and the bad ones for the people, which was really hateful.

This time, the prince also found out all these guys, which is really happy! ”

The more the emperor spoke, the more excited he became, and directly handed a book to Manager Zhou, "Go and take it down and show them, what kind of things our court has raised in the place!" ”

The folds were handed down, and the courtiers gathered together to watch it.

One by one, it was also passed to Prime Minister Jiang Cheng.

The prime minister didn't pay too much attention to it, but his eyes swept over the names on the list one by one, and a look of surprise swept over the depths of his eyes.

He subconsciously turned his head sideways to look at Qin Qiling, only to see that Qin Qiling's expression was faint, and he was also looking in his direction.

Looking at each other, Qin Qiling said, "What's wrong?" Do you have any objections to my list? ”

"Huh." The prime minister laughed twice, "How can the minister have objections?" Since His Royal Highness can come up with this list, there must be sufficient evidence to prove that these guys are corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and of course they must be severely punished to set an example. ”

Qin Qiling nodded deeply, "What the prime minister said is extremely true. ”

After the recitals were circulated one by one, they returned to the hands of Chief Zhou, and at this time, the courtiers also quieted down.

The emperor said solemnly: "I will not let go of any of these corrupt officials and corrupt officials." All dismissed, raided homes, and beheaded to show the public, in order to set an example! ”

The ministers immediately exclaimed, "The emperor is wise. ”

"Well, of course, those who want to be punished severely must be punished severely, and I will not be ambiguous if I want to be rewarded. I still remember that the prince's favorite thing is the picture of the prosperous world hanging in the palace of my Jun'an, right? ”

"Father, you mean?"

"Yes, I'm going to give it to you. After a while, remember to go to Zhenna and take it back to the East Palace. ”

Qin Qiling was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately knelt on the ground, "Thank you, thank you, father." ”

"Well, get up."

Qin Qiling got up again, still unable to hide his joy.

He knew that he had done the right thing this time, but he didn't expect the emperor to have such a high opinion of him.

"Hehe, don't patronize and be happy. As a prince, you must pay more attention to the people in the future, do you know it? ”

"Yes, the sons and daughters remember the teachings of their father."

"Well, these corrupt officials are punished. Then these positions will also be vacant, and since this prince is doing well, then the vacant positions will also be handed over to the prince to find someone to fill. ”

"The retainers obeyed."

Qin Qiling's words fell, and the prime minister's eyelids drooped.

The prince must have won the hearts of the people in the flood area this time, and the emperor also held him in high esteem. In the future, even the officials of that place were the prince's people.

The power of the crown prince was apparently expanded more significantly.

Then this is undoubtedly like an invasion for the Jiang family.

Prime Minister Jiang raised his head, "Your Majesty, the minister suddenly thought of something else because of this. ”

"What is it? Jiang Aiqing, please speak up. ”

"The year before last, in the northwest area, there was a drought for many years, and our imperial court has been allocating funds. However, in terms of the results of the past two years, it has not been very good. Weichen suddenly wondered if there were some corrupt officials in the northwest to cause this. ”

"Oh? The prime minister seems to have some point. Then Prime Minister, do you mean that you are going to send people to investigate the bureaucrats in the northwest as well? ”

"That's right, that's what Weichen meant."

The emperor nodded, his gaze wandering over the ministers, "That's right." I just don't know, who should check this? ”

Prime Minister Jiang Cheng seemed to think for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a candidate. ”

"Who?"

"Chen Yuan, Lord Chen."
