Since then, everyone's minds seem to have calmed down.

The days of the imperial capital passed day by day, the imperial court was running in an orderly manner, and the people were busy for their livelihoods.

In the blink of an eye, the mildness of spring faded, and the summer heat hit again.

Floods in the south of the Yangtze River are frequent, and the excerpts from the south of the Yangtze River have arrived in the imperial capital. It has been raining since spring this year, and because of the large number of water systems in the Jiangnan area, the first embankment was broken by the raging flood in early September, followed by the second and third places, and the disaster quickly spread.

In the past, because of the Jiangnan case, officials in many places in Jiangnan were imprisoned or dismissed on the spot because they were involved, and most of the officials who were later transferred were officials from other places and had little experience in dealing with floods, so the disaster was not contained in the first place.

The excerpt that asked the imperial court to come forward for disaster relief came, and Emperor Chu immediately asked the household department to raise silver grain and medicinal materials.

Fortunately, most of the land of Dazhao has been smooth in recent years, and there have been no major wars on the frontier in recent years, so the treasury is full. According to Emperor Chu's instructions, the household department drafted the approximate amount of silver grain and medicinal materials required, and raised all the disaster relief materials according to the requirements.

In previous years, there will be some large and small disasters in various places, according to Emperor Chu's consistent behavior, the officials of various ministries of the imperial court perform their duties, and most of the Emperor Chu have selected people from the princes under his knees to preside over various disaster relief matters.

First, the prince's status is noble, and he does not have to be subject to the control of local officials after arriving in the local area. Second, the identity of the prince is enough to show how much Emperor Chu attaches importance to the disaster.

Xiao Jin thought that if he took the initiative to invite Ying to go to Jiangnan for disaster relief this time, if the disaster relief was profitable, maybe when he returned to the imperial capital, Emperor Chu would be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and his county throne might be promoted to a prince.

Xiao Jin discussed the matter with the officials under his command and said his plan. Most people agreed with Xiao Jin's view.

So on the second day above the court, the head of the household first informed Emperor Chu that the silver grain and medicinal materials for disaster relief had been fully raised. As soon as Hubu Shangshu's words fell, Xiao Jin immediately walked out of the queue and took two steps forward.

"Father, the son is willing to share the worries for his father, the disaster in Jiangnan is serious, and the son takes the initiative to ask his father to approve the son to go to the Jiangnan provinces to preside over disaster relief." Xiao Jin leaned over and said. "Please also ask for your father's permission."

Xiao Jin finished his lines, and before he could straighten up, Xiao Jun, who was glanced at by Xiao Yu, also took the initiative to stand up and said something almost exactly the same as Xiao Jin.

After listening to Xiao Jun's words patiently, Xiao Jin couldn't help but look back at him.

Xiao Jun saw the threat in Xiao Jin's eyes, and pursed the corners of his lips at him indifferently.

"Father, the second brother has been valued by his father recently, and he can't be busy with the errands in his hand at all." Xiao Jun was still unwilling and reluctant to be pushed out by Xiao Yu, but when he saw Xiao Jin's expression at this time, he became serious. "Erchen is the youngest of his father's princes, and he can only watch his brothers share his father's worries for his father, so this time he will send his sons to Jiangnan if he is not as good as his father. This move shows that his father attaches great importance to the disaster in Jiangnan, and he can also experience his sons, so that he can better share his father's worries in the future. ”

Emperor Chu sat on a high throne, and naturally saw the eyebrow lawsuit between Xiao Jin and Xiao Jun just now.

"That's it, let Yiwang go to Jiangnan this time." Emperor Chu pondered for a moment and then made a decision.

Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Jun and nodded at him. Xiao Jin wanted to say something more, but when he raised his head and looked at Emperor Chu's frowning eyebrows, he still swallowed the words in his mouth again.

After going down, Xiao Yu took Xiao Jun and walked away quickly. Xiao Jun is still the first time to receive such an important errand, Xiao Yu also has his own eyes and ears in Jiangnan, at the moment Jiangnan is still rainy, although the officials everywhere have done their best to provide disaster relief, but they can't stand the eyes of God, the disaster situation in Jiangnan is still a little serious.

Emperor Chu set up a disaster relief team to leave the imperial capital and go to Jiangnan two days later, Xiao Jun has no experience in dealing with these things, since Xiao Yu pushed Xiao Jun out to grab this errand, he naturally has to make plans for him.

The concubine of Emperor Liu in the palace soon learned the news, she waved off Baizhu and the others, walked to the Buddha shrine and knelt down, and recited the scriptures in her mouth.

Xiao Yu has been in charge of several disaster relief projects in his early years, and almost every time he has been successful. After he took Xiao Jun back to his Qin Palace, he immediately wrote a list of personnel in the study, and before the ink was dry, he handed the list to Xiao Jun's hands.

"Here's the list of people I've drawn up for you, you can go back and take a look. Father should summon you again tomorrow, and my father knows my handwriting, so this list will be copied by yourself when you return home, and the entourage will be decided tomorrow. "Xiao Yu told Xiao Jun to be careful in everything." My people in Jiangnan have letters back to the imperial capital, and the situation in Jiangnan is a bit serious this time, and the heavy rain has not stopped. As a disaster relief officer, you have to go to inspect the disaster, so you have to be careful. ”

Xiao Jun carefully put away the list that Xiao Yu gave him in his sleeve, and said to Xiao Yu casually.

"Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely do a good job of disaster relief. And I'm very water-based, so my big brother doesn't have to worry too much about me. ”

"Don't be hippie and smiley, the people in Jiangnan have their own lives by the water to eat, who is not better than you?" Xiao Yu said. "But when the flood hits, no matter how good the water is, it will be in vain. You must remember not to act recklessly, the people I picked for you are experienced, they are all veterans for many years, and some things will be more secure to listen to the words of the people below. ”

"Got it, I'll do it." Xiao Jun looked at Xiao Yu's solemn expression, and naturally replied solemnly.

"You go back and explain the matter to your princess, if there is anything in the mansion that your princess can't handle during your absence, just let her come to the Qin Palace's mansion to find your sister-in-law." Xiao Yu said to Xiao Jun. "You will leave the imperial capital the day after tomorrow, and after your father summons you tomorrow, you will go to Yihua Palace to say goodbye to your mother."

"Well, I made a note of it." Xiao Jun nodded. "Then big brother, I'll go back to the house today."

After Duan Shaolan returned to the princess's mansion, he told Xiao Xuan that Xiao Jun was leaving the imperial capital to go to Jiangnan for disaster relief.

Xiao Xuan also heard about the disaster in Jiangnan, and when he learned the news that Xiao Jun was going to Jiangnan for disaster relief, Xiao Xuan was so frightened that he suddenly sat on the soft couch.

"But I've heard that this time the disaster in Jiangnan is much more serious than in previous years, and some officials have died in the line of duty." Xiao Xuan asked.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty has selected a team of elites from the Jinqi Guard, and when the time comes, they will accompany the disaster relief team to protect His Royal Highness King Yi. His Royal Highness King Qin has many years of experience in disaster relief, and he will also prepare for His Royal Highness King Yi completely. Seeing Xiao Xuan's pale face, Duan Shaolan hurriedly sat down beside her, took her hand and said softly. You can rest assured. ”

Early the next morning, Emperor Chu really summoned Xiao Jun.

Xiao Jun stayed up all night after returning to his palace yesterday, secretly remembering everything in his heart, and handed over the list he had copied to Emperor Chu.

Emperor Chu carefully read the list, readily agreed, and said that he had selected a team of elites to protect him.

"Thank you father for thinking a lot about your sons." Xiao Jun was rarely steady. "I also specially selected elite guards from the pennant guards to protect the sons."

"Be careful." Emperor Chu looked at his young son, who had always been innocent and sparse, and finally grew into a young man. "You will leave the day after tomorrow, remember to go to Yihua Palace before leaving the palace today, and accompany your mother to talk well, I heard that the light in front of the Buddha shrine in Yihua Palace yesterday was not extinguished until late at night."

"Yes, Erchen knows." Xiao Jun said. "The retainers will say goodbye to their mother."

"Alright, there you go."

After Xiao Jun came to Yihua Palace, he found that there was not only Emperor Liu's concubine sitting on the main hall, but even Xiao Xuan had come early, and she was sitting with Emperor Liu's concubine and didn't know what she was talking about.

"Sixth brother." Seeing Xiao Jun, Xiao Xuan stood up and called him.

"Jun'er." Concubine Liu immediately looked over.

Xiao Jun got closer and found that the eyes of the mother and sister were a little bloodshot, and their eyes were also slightly blue, thinking that the two of them didn't rest well last night.

"Erchen greets Concubine Liu, and Princess Zhaoyue." Xiao Jun knew that her mother and sister must have been worried that their trip to Jiangnan would not have a good rest last night, so she pretended to step forward easily, and bowed very exaggeratedly.

"Mother, look, how old is the sixth brother, and he is still so out of tune." Xiao Xuan was amused by Xiao Jun's actions, and deliberately cooperated with Xiao Jun and pulled Emperor Liu to complain.

"Alright, alright." Concubine Liu hurriedly asked Xiao Jun to sit down in the seat beside her and asked him. "Did your eldest brother think about the entourage for you, what did your father say when he summoned you today?"

Concubine Liu Huang pulled Xiao Jun and asked in a babbling voice, and she chattered rarely.

Xiao Jun also listened to Emperor Liu's nagging patiently, and told her and Xiao Xuan everything about what Xiao Yu told him last night and what Emperor Chu told him today.

Knowing that Xiao Yu had made arrangements for Xiao Jun, and even Emperor Chu carefully selected a team of men and horses from the Jinqi Guard to escort Xiao Jun's safety, Emperor Liu's concubine calmed down a little.

"Sixth brother, you must come back well." Xiao Xuan said with teary eyes and pulling Xiao Jun's sleeve.

"Look at you." Xiao Jun wiped away Xiao Xuan's tears. "You and the concubine can rest assured, I will definitely come back safely."
