Chapter 540: Errand

The ceremony of reinstating the crown prince was much simpler because of the disaster in Qianhe County.

The prince didn't mind this, and when he moved back to the East Palace of his dreams, he was so happy that he almost sang loudly.

There was not much joy on the princess's face, but there was more sorrow in the depths of her eyes.

The prince was not happy when he saw it, he opened his mouth and wanted to scold a few words, thinking that it was not easy to become the prince again, so it was better to bear with it for the time being.

Donggong looked at it for a while, and it was quite happy.

The disaster situation in Qianhe County has become more and more serious, and some people have gathered together to start making trouble due to the restrictions on movement due to the epidemic.

The officials who went to the disaster relief sent back an urgent report for help, and Emperor Jingming stared at the excerpts on the bookcase to ponder the candidates for disaster relief.

If the victims rioted, if the children of the royal family went to express their condolences on behalf of the Son of Heaven, it would undoubtedly play a good role in reassuring people's hearts.

Emperor Jingming thought about it and decided to hand over this errand to the crown prince.

Although so many courtiers supported the reinstatement of the crown prince before, it was because they were worried that the vacancy of the prince's position would cause instability, not that they recognized the prince himself.

Emperor Jingming knew in his heart that the crown prince was not a good talent and beauty, and he had never done anything that was praised by the courtiers and the people, not to mention that the prince was deposed before and had the stigma of instructing someone to kill the king of Anjun.

This stigma is meant to cover up a larger stigma, but even such a stigma could one day cause the crown prince to be suppressed by important ministers.

Emperor Jingming hoped that the prince would have more political achievements, so that he could sit firmly in the future.

"Pan Hai, call the prince over."

The prince laughed with the palace maid in the familiar small garden, and was called to the imperial study.

Previously, the crown prince was deposed, and in order to turn over and listen to Father Yang's idea, he worked hard to curry favor with Emperor Jingming, but now that he has become the prince again, his mentality has changed, and the natural fear of Emperor Laozi has returned.

"Father, what did you call your son?" The prince asked cautiously.

Emperor Jingming glanced at the prince and couldn't help frowning: "What are you doing?" ”

The prince was nervous.

He just touched the little palace maid's hand in the garden, could it be that he was also discovered by his father?

The prince smiled dryly: "My son is walking in the garden......"

Emperor Jingming didn't care whether the prince was walking in the garden or touching the little palace maid's hand, and asked, "Back to the East Palace, are you still used to it?" ”

The prince hurriedly said: "I'm so used to it! ”

The corners of Emperor Jingming's mouth twitched, and he said, "In the future, you must remember your duty and don't act rashly." ”

"My son got it." The prince lowered his head and answered honestly.

He now completely understands that no matter how good the beauty is, his father's woman can't touch it.

Emperor Jingming felt that his brain hurt when he looked at the prince's appearance, the only thing worth comforting was that the grandson was a good one, if he lived long enough to wait for Brother Chun to grow up, he would simply pass the throne directly to Brother Chun.

Thinking about it like this, Emperor Jingming was not so picky about the crown prince, and coughed lightly: "I have an errand for you." ”

The prince was stunned for a moment.

Errand?

Growing up so big, it seems that his father didn't give him any errands...... Hey, my father is going to give him a heavy responsibility?

The crown prince was in high spirits, and looked at Emperor Jingming with burning eyes.

Emperor Jingming touched his chin and asked slowly, "Do you know about Qianhe County?" ”

"Qianhe County? Did the father ask about the land movement in Qianhe County? Of course the son knows. The prince said busily.

If it weren't for the movement of Qianhe County, and then the movement of the capital, he would probably still be spending the summer in Jingyuan now.

Emperor Jingming said solemnly: "It's not just the ground moving, now there is an epidemic in Qianhe County, and there are riots among the victims......"

The prince couldn't figure out what Emperor Jingming meant, and followed: "The people of Qianhe County are really miserable, my son is so heartbroken when he hears it, and he can't sleep at night." ”

Emperor Jingming's eyes showed a look of relief: "It's good that you have this heart." I called you here because I wanted you to go to Qianhe County on my behalf and appease the people......"

The prince froze.

Did he hear it wrong? Father actually asked him to go to Qianhe County!

Qianhe County where there is an epidemic and mobs!

The crown prince stared at Emperor Jingming, and there was only one thought in his heart: his father must still hold a grudge for Concubine Yang's affairs, otherwise how could he let his own son die?

"What, don't want to?" Seeing the prince's stupidity, Emperor Jingming's anger came up again.

This bastard who only knows how to eat, drink, and touch the little palace maid, as soon as he has a serious errand, he will be cowardly!

Touching Emperor Jingming's deep gaze, the prince suddenly came back to his senses, grinned stiffly and said with a dry smile: "Of course my son is willing to ......"

Emperor Jingming nodded: "It's okay if you want, then you go back and talk to the crown princess, make a little preparation, and set off tomorrow." ”

The prince's body shook and almost fell, seeing that Emperor Jingming's face was serious and not like laughing, he finally had no way to slap his swollen face and become fat, and said with teary eyes: "Father, although the son is willing, he is a little afraid in his heart...... I don't know how the epidemic in Qianhe County ......"

Emperor Jingming glanced at his unpromising son.

No matter how terrible the epidemic is, someone is under control after all, and when it comes to Qianhe County, whether it is completely flexible or not, his son really has nothing to do, and he has not gone to intimidate himself first.

"What the epidemic is, you have to go to see it to find out." Emperor Jingming said lightly, and had the heart to see the prince's reaction.

The prince's face turned three points pale.

Emperor Jingming sank his face: "If you don't want to go-"

"My son wants to go!" The crown prince hurriedly interrupted Emperor Jingming's words.

He became the crown prince again, and his ass was not hot yet, so he couldn't disappoint his father.

Emperor Jingming looked at the crown prince quietly.

The crown prince stubbornly said: "Father, my son has never left the capital when he is so old, and it is really a little uneasy for him to receive such a heavy errand for the first time. I don't know if I can ......."

"If you have something to say, say it." Emperor Jingming eased his tone.

Although the prince is a little cowardly, it is not bad to be able to recognize how many catties and taels he has.

"Can you find a companion to go with you......" The prince had the audacity to make this request, staring at Emperor Jingming's reaction.

How could Emperor Jingming let the crown prince see his joy and anger, thought about it with a face, and asked, "Who do you want to accompany you?" ”

The crown prince quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Whoever the father thinks is suitable is whoever he wants, and the son doesn't pick it." ”

He still understands the principle of accepting it when he sees it, anyway, if someone accompanies him to be unlucky.

"In this way—" Emperor Jingming groaned slightly, and instructed Pan Hai, "Call all the princes." ”

didn't wait long, the imperial study was crowded with princes, except for King Jin, who had already gone to guard the imperial tomb.

Emperor Jingming silently counted his sons, and when he saw that the number of people was right, he said in a deep voice: "I called you here to choose one of you to accompany the prince to Qianhe County to comfort the victims, I don't know which of you would like to go?" ”

When the princes heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.

Accompany the prince to Qianhe County?

The first thought that came to everyone's mind was: This is the real reading with the prince!

The second thought came to mind: Qianhe County, where the epidemic is serious and the victims are rioting? It's a chore.
