Chapter 57: Drought

"Ouch, look at my brain, I almost forgot about you," Chang Gonggong knocked on the door of his head with a whisk, and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still busy, and I don't have time to see you for the time being, he asked you to go back first, and we will talk about it another day." ”

"But my wife and daughter are still waiting for help, please, help me beg His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again."

Xiao Lingfeng bowed his hand, his face full of pleading.

It can be seen that he really loves his wife and daughter, and he is reluctant to let them suffer at all.

Father-in-law Chang was very embarrassed: "This is not very good......"

Xiao Lingfeng turned his heart sideways and knelt down directly for him: "Please, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can save my wife and daughter, let me do anything!" ”

Father-in-law Chang hurriedly helped him up, and hesitated again before saying, "Then you wait, I'll go in and help you plead." ”

Xiao Lingfeng is naturally grateful.

Chang Gonggong turned around and went in.

It didn't take long for him to come out again, and he first made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Liangdi.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince let you in."

Xiao Xixi carried the food box and went in with Baoqin.

Xiao Lingfeng wanted to follow, but Chang's father-in-law didn't speak, he didn't dare to move, so he could only ask with a blank look.

"What did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say?"

Father-in-law Chang smiled and said: "You are lucky, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to rest for a while, Xiao Liangdi is just at this time to send the soup over, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so considerate, make an exception to help you, you come with me, I will take you to the Tai Hospital." ”

Xiao Lingfeng was pleasantly surprised, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the study.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, for saving your life!"

Father-in-law Chang stood by and watched, and sighed with a smile: "In addition to thanking His Royal Highness the Prince, you should also thank Xiao Liangdi, if it weren't for her, you wouldn't have gotten this grace, General Xiao, you really gave birth to a good girl!" ”

Xiao Lingfeng stood up, his expression a little sneering.

From the day Xiao Xixi was sent out, he and the Xue family regarded as having never given birth to this daughter.

When he learned that his wife and youngest daughter had unfortunately fallen into the water, he even had the idea that they fell into the water because they were unlucky after seeing Xiao Xixi.

They had only seen Xiao Xixi the day before yesterday, and they fell into the water yesterday afternoon, which was too much of a coincidence.

Hearing Chang Gonggong's words at this time, Xiao Lingfeng's heart was extremely complicated.

Father-in-law Chang shook off the dust: "Let's go." ”

The two of them walked to the Tai Hospital one after the other.

When Xiao Xixi walked into the study, he saw the prince discussing things with others.

Xiao Xixi didn't dare to disturb them to talk about business, so she silently found a corner to stay.

The crown prince said solemnly: "The drought in the south has lasted for almost two or three months, and if it continues like this, this year's autumn harvest will be nothing. ”

The crown prince said: "Last year, there was a flood disaster in the south, the imperial court not only greatly reduced taxes, but also contributed money to aid refugees, and a large amount of money was spent like a stream, and the group of people in the household department were so distressed that they couldn't do it. ”

The crown prince frowned: "That's also a helpless thing, if you don't reduce taxes, force the people to have no way out, and then the people will be resentful of the court, it is likely to cause riots, this kind of thing has not happened before." ”

The crown prince Shaobao sighed: "But the treasury really has no money, the emperor plans to tour the south this year, and it will cost a lot of silver at that time, and the group of people in the household department will definitely not agree to reduce taxes in order to please the emperor." ”

For many ministers in the court, the lives of the people were far less important than the emperor's happiness.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh when they talked about this, looking helpless.

Luo Qinghan finally spoke up: "Let's get here here today, you go back and think about countermeasures, if you have a good idea, you can enter the palace at any time to talk to Gu." ”

Everyone bowed their hands in unison: "Wow." ”
