Chapter 604: The Prince
The emperor ate hot pot, spicy and non-spicy were cooked and eaten, Li Xiangye and the old lady couldn't eat spicy, so they ate the mushroom pot.
"If you want to raise cattle to make this hot pot, it's not impossible to eat vegetable oil, but for the soldiers at the border gates, they can have the strength to fight only if they can eat a mouthful of meat oil. Why didn't the girl tell me about this? Can I still say that she can't do it? ”
The Emperor burst into laughter.
Yang Houye glanced at the old lady and sighed, "Who made her a girl, there are some things that she is not suitable for participating in too much, even if she has the ability and talent."
The emperor's ministers are old, and their hair is all white, although she is my granddaughter, but I don't want white-haired people to send black-haired people. ”
is a pun, and Zilan's infinite grievances are exhausted.
The emperor put down his chopsticks and sighed, "Hey! I'm ashamed to say that, I didn't protect her. Forget it, when she comes back from Jiangnan, let's go to other places with Cui Hao, she has always wanted to go out for a walk, and I have to fulfill her wish. ”
"Thank you for your pity."
"This thing can be done, and raising cattle is also beneficial, but you have to control how to do it, and this plague is not a joke."
"Yes, the minister will personally operate this matter, try it on a small scale first, Lan'er has a lot of experience in this regard, Xianglou has raised chickens, ducks, geese, pigs and sheep, and the cattle are missing, and the old minister should not be wrong to let people learn from the scriptures."
Yang Houye was also very happy when he heard it.
"Okay, you can do this first, and if you get it done, you can do it on a large scale, and you can find someone if you need anything."
The emperor agreed, and he also trusted Yang Houye.
"Actually, this matter is not too difficult, but it is more trivial and troublesome, I don't know how many princes are interested in helping one or two, and it is also a good thing for the people and the country."
The old lady interjected at the right time.
The emperor thought for a while before saying, "Then let Lao Qi do it, can you say that the prince can take down the matter of the river?" This matter needs someone with status to do it, the girl and Ziyan are a little weak, which affects their interests, and I am also worried about the girl's safety. ”
The old lady glanced at Li Xiangye, saw that he lowered his chin slightly, and immediately understood that he had promised to help with this matter with all his might.
"It would be better if the prince went, Jiangnan is a bone that is difficult to gnaw, the prince went to learn to learn, and doing it again is also a kind of training, this is a major event in the court, and the merit is immeasurable, so the prince should be allowed to go, is it justified."
The old lady seriously echoed the emperor's words.
"It's okay, just let the prince go, leave this matter to Li Aiqing to do, be sure to make things clear, especially the process that the girl wrote, I don't think she will be untargeted, if she dares to bring it up to me, it will definitely be of great benefit to the people, you should be cautious, don't neglect it."
Li Xiangye stood up and bowed his hand, "It's the old minister who obeys the order." ”
"This base material of the girl is really good, Aiqing, you leave two copies for me."
The emperor was sweating profusely from eating, but he felt very happy.
"I wrote the recipe and gave it to the cook to make a few times, you can change it slightly according to your taste, but this thing is greasy and spicy, so you can't eat too much.
But it doesn't matter if this mushroom pot is used, it is a soup with chicken broth and bamboo shoots, which is very delicious, and it is still good to eat this pot in winter and spring. ”
Yang Houye explained with a smile.
"Okay, don't forget."
The emperor looked pleased.
The matter of the river was settled smoothly, and Yu Han and the prince of the Yu family were appointed to go to Jiangnan to do this together, and the Li family helped with all their might this time.
The prince's wife is the eldest daughter of the Li family, and now she has a son-in-law, Zilan also asked Yan'er to send Peiyuan ointment to the princess's son to nourish his body and bones, and now the child's body is very strong.
At this point, the prince and the crown princess are very sympathetic to the Cui family, the meaning of the eldest son is different, now the sixth prince is already the prince, and if there is no eldest son, he will be criticized for having no inheritor.
The Li family is the prince's father-in-law, so naturally they want to help the prince, and the Cui family gave this opportunity is also the result of careful consideration.
The identity of the prince is enough, and the people below dare not mess around, and Song Ziyan has practical experience, but his status is too low, and his official position is also low, which is not enough to deter and deter hundreds of officials.
The crown prince needs this resume, but it will not affect Ziyan's promotion, their identities are different and there is no competition, and the Li family needs to push the prince to the throne.
The Cui family gave a chance, which is also of great benefit to Cui Hao, and the merits of each other will not overlap or compete, and the Li family has won the favor of the Cui family, and they will definitely have to pay it back if they have the opportunity in the future.
For the Cui family, to keep Cui Hao and Zilan, especially Zilan to protect her, she is the patriarch of the Cui family, and Cui Hao's status is as important, not everyone can replace Zilan's position.
In the end, he was able to maintain a good interaction and relationship with the prince, and it was enough to be not far or close, so the Cui family took the initiative to hand over an olive branch.
The emperor personally issued an edict for the crown prince and his entourage to go to Jiangnan to inspect the river.
Before leaving, Li Xiangye personally summoned the prince for a meeting, and met the old lady Cui, who had already arrived.
"The juniors say hello to Cui Xiangye, say hello to grandpa."
The prince said very modestly about the juniors, and didn't say anything like lonely.
"The prince is polite, the old man has been waiting for a long time, and there are some things that need to be instructed, there are too many people to talk, come and sit down and let's have a cup of tea."
Cui Xiangye smiled and beckoned to the prince and spoke pleasantly.
"Yes. What do you need to bring to Brother Hao and his wife, I will ask someone to pick it up at Cui's house before leaving? I just brought it to them together.
Speaking of which, my son's body is getting stronger and stronger, thanks to the ointment sent by Mrs. Cui, but his identity is not good, and he will come to thank him in person, so as not to make bad remarks and affect Brother Hao. ”
The prince politely thanked him first, in fact, the Li family had already thanked him in person instead of the prince, but the prince wanted to say it again to show that he remembered in his heart that I am not an ungrateful person.
"That's a trivial matter, it's not worth remembering, let's talk about the river, there is a section of the river in the south of the Yangtze River that is very important, you have to check it carefully, Lan'er said that the location may not be strong, but she can't be sure of the specifics."
"Yes, my father told me that the corruption in the river is very serious, and the embankment may not be strong, so let me go and report the details of this matter to him truthfully."
The prince listened to the instructions of the two prime ministers and was very humble.
"Lan'er also found some problems and wrote me a secret letter, but her identity is not enough to find out more things, you go to find out this matter for the emperor."
Li Xiangye also made arrangements for the prince.
"Yes, I remember."
"You don't have to be too close to the officials when you go, there is no need to win over the officials, you are the king and they are the ministers, figure out the relationship between the upper and lower levels."
The old lady nodded at the prince lightly, it is useless to win over officials, will you fulfill your promises one by one when you become the emperor, don't be funny, it is not certain whether the situation will change at that time.
