The autumn breeze in September is always cool.

In the palace, there are already stars outside, and the emperor is still reading the recital in the imperial study. Recently, there are more and more things, and one by one is more and more sad. His two sons are not yet 8 years old, and the youngest has just learned to speak, so he can't help at all in government affairs.

The eunuch in charge quietly called the palace maid next to him, and ordered the already cold Longjing to be brought down.

"Let's warm up again." Although the sharp voice of the eunuch in charge was deliberately lowered, it still disturbed the emperor's mind at the moment.

"No need. I went out for a walk. With that, he got up and stood up.

The eunuch in charge hunched his waist and followed with a sentence, but he kept thinking about what An promised to tell him today. An promised to know that his new apprentice's family was in a bad situation, so he gave the little apprentice some silver taels, and asked the little apprentice to use more snacks when the emperor turned over the brand tonight.

But now that the emperor is worried, he hasn't been to the favorite concubine's house for almost half a month. It's always soft to take people's money. The eunuch in charge coughed lightly, but still opened his mouth gently, "Your Majesty, it seems that you have something to worry about?" Why don't you turn over the sign tonight? ”

The emperor walked by himself in front, and rubbed his swollen temples from time to time, "Don't turn it over." Those things in the harem, one by one, know about the competition for favor. Let the queen worry about these troubles. ”

After walking for a while, the emperor stopped, "I am going to raise a son." But they're all that young now. There are so many worries these days, and they are not enough to have the ability to help me. ”

"Your Majesty, you are in the prime of life, so you don't have to rush to establish a prince. However, there are many trivial matters, and it is true that you should cultivate a personal talent to share your worries. The eunuch in charge looked at the emperor with a worried face. Since the emperor was still the crown prince, he has been following the emperor, and after so many ups and downs over the years, he has long treated the emperor as a relative, surpassing the existence between master and servant.

"I want to work out well, little nineteen." The emperor's eyes were illuminated by a little starlight. "There aren't many brothers I can trust. The third child is one, but he is good at fighting on the battlefield. The key to the royal balance is that there cannot be a second ruler who is both civil and military. The third child has also kept me at ease all these years, holding on to our inch after inch of territory on the battlefield. But he never talks about politics. "There are many things that the emperor knows in his heart, but he has never expressed them.

"Lao Qi is also a one. But Lao Qi's talent is more, and he is extremely good at composing and chanting poetry. In terms of state affairs, it is not as good as the little nineteen. ”

"But, Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that the Nineteen Princes will rebel?"

The emperor opened his voice and laughed loudly, "Little Nineteen, this person values brotherhood the most. When I was a child, I accidentally broke the Bodhisattva statue in the ancestral hall, and when my father asked him, Xiao Nineteen took the blame off, so he knelt in the ancestral hall for a night. Afterwards, he even said such a naughty thing, only if he did it, everyone would believe it. So for Little Nineteen, I always treat him as a brother. ”

Reminiscing about things when I was a child is always very nostalgic.

"Has the emperor ever considered the Horse Mansion? The horse is young and talented, and he was also born as a champion at the beginning......" Before the eunuch finished speaking, he was interrupted by the emperor.

Luo Licheng was young and promising, and he was all talented of that generation at that time, but he was too ambitious. I don't dare to raise a wolf cub by my side, which will eventually harm others and myself. ”

"Your Majesty. The minions believe that the Nineteenth Prince will not disappoint your expectations. ”

The next morning.

An adult in a dark green robe lowered his head and walked forward, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to play!" "The fire is out

"Aiqing, please speak."

"In the past few days, some people have reported that the rice in the wheat fields has been gnawed by insects, and most of them are plagued by locusts. Please also ask the emperor to make a decision as soon as possible! ”

The emperor thought for a moment, this was a good opportunity to train Ouyang Huaiyu, and it could also let him see Xiao Nineteen's ability.

"Leave this matter to the Nineteenth Prince. I hope you don't disappoint me. The emperor glanced at the red medal next to him, and his long-reviewed hand had already ground out a big bubble, and the fingers that had been soaked in ink for a long time were also clearly visible. He picked up the red seal and was about to press the red seal, when suddenly someone in the audience spoke.

"Your Majesty, the Nineteenth Prince doesn't understand the dangers of locust plagues too well, and letting such an inexperienced person go will make the people uneasy." The person who spoke was Luo Licheng. The control of locust plagues is a major event every year. The key is that there is too much oil and water in it, and the water is too muddy to touch the fish. The benefits in the middle, Luo Licheng can't count them, such a good place, how can he easily let Ouyang Huaiyu's stinky boy take it?

The emperor frowned and put down the red seal in his hand, "The horse said that the people are not convinced?" How can I disobey my command? It's a short sentence, but it's full of deterrence. For a moment, the people in the court knelt down on their knees. Even Luo Licheng was full of fear.

"If you have nothing to do, let's go back first, right? I'm tired. The emperor rubbed his temples. The last thing you like to do as a person in power is to be refuted in public. Xiao Nineteen hasn't spoken yet, what did he say?

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" For a moment, the voice echoed in the court.

The emperor shook off his robe and turned away.

On the way down, a group of officials chattered, so lively.

"Today's horse is really bold, and he dares to doubt the emperor's selection ability, which really saves the emperor's face."

"Yes, yes, everyone is still unclear in their hearts, like a mirror, didn't the emperor intend to promote the nineteenth prince......" The person who was talking was pulled by the person next to him, "Shh~ Whisper...... The colt is right behind us......"

A few mouth-shuts quickly closed their mouths.

Luo Licheng walked over angrily, and he clearly heard the words of those people. He could see that the emperor was indeed intending to promote Ouyang Huaiyu, so he was unwilling. Can his own brother hand over such a big thing as the locust plague? I'm not worried about Ouyang Huaiyu, will that kid rebel?

Today's events made Luo Licheng's mood like the boredom before the storm in summer, and he couldn't pour out.

In the palace, Ouyang Huaiyu came to the imperial study, and the emperor who was closing his eyes and recuperating on the side did not see him, and heard his voice first, "The emperor~"

The emperor raised his eyelids, and then waved his hand to make the palace maids retreat.

"I don't know, I think I bullied you." The emperor took a sip of tea, and sure enough, the dragon well after the rain was sweet and refreshing.

"How can you let me go to the town in a good way? Wasn't Prime Minister Li Cheng responsible for it all over the years? Ouyang Huaiyu was dissatisfied, this disaster relief is not big, but it is not small. The key is how deep the greasy is in it, and the emperor knows it. So is Ouyang Huaiyu. He's not a careful person and doesn't want to do risky things.
