Finally, she couldn't help it anymore and dropped the dishes and chopsticks on the table during a lunch.

"If this matter is not dealt with as soon as possible, I will have to lose dozens of pounds!" Jiang Youjing rolled his eyes, and the whole person was like sitting on pins and needles, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Qi Junqing put down his chopsticks heavily, looking displeased, this girl has been like this in recent days, she can't eat well and sleep well. I was also investigating in secret, and found a lot of corrupt officials, but I didn't think of a good way to deal with it, and I wanted to talk to her about it after dinner today, but she couldn't help it first.

In that case, you might as well have the final say now.

"Recently, I have caught a lot of officials who embezzled materials and silver, according to my wife's opinion, how should I deal with them?" Scooping the egg blossom soup from the bowl, he asked.

Jiang Youjing looked back in surprise, his eyes were full of disbelief, "Sure enough, as I expected, this greedy official is really not small, and the things in the imperial court dare to covet them, I really don't know if I don't give a little color!" ”

She has always hated others for bullying the weak, and officials privately swallow what the court gives to the people, isn't it a kind of bullying?

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Jiang Hejing clenched his fists angrily, fortunately, he found out these people in time, and there was no room for recovery.

"In my opinion, it is better to arrest those corrupt officials, let them hand over the silver, if they refuse to pay, report to the court, and if they can't pay it, they will use the house as a mortgage and let the people live in it, what does the prince think?"

Qi Junqing nodded after a moment, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

After a few days, she specially asked him to list the names of the officials who were greedy for silver on a piece of paper and paste them on the streets, although this trick was a little ruthless, but it was extremely effective.

Seeing this thing, Taishou hurriedly came up to ask for a meeting with the prince, saying that he could pay out of his own pocket to compensate the people who had not received the silver.

"You can think about it, this expense will come from you alone, don't say that this king forced you at that time!" Qi Jun brushed the tea soup, his face was dark and inexplicable.

Taishou is honest and honest, knelt on the ground and replied: "Lord Wang, I am the parent official in the Jiangnan area, and I am ashamed of the people of Jiangnan when this happens, and now I can only make up for it in this way!" After saying that, he kowtowed.

Everyone below came to the door one after another to ask for their own bodies to make up for the shortfall in the silver. Those corrupt officials handed over the money, and they no longer had the face to be officials.

For a time, the lives of the people in the Jiangnan area improved, and no matter how fierce the flood was, it could not drown out the expectations of the people. The people who had been displaced had a place to live, and the city was filled with a strong smell of life, and it no longer looked like it was as lifeless as it had been.

After dusk, Jiang Youjing was dragged by him to take a walk in the courtyard.

"Is the princess still satisfied?" He stared at the person beside him with burning eyes, these days, thanks to her by his side, he could not be in chaos.

She took his hand, her eyebrows crooked, "Very satisfied." "It is undeniable that Qi Junqing's performance is really good, better than ever.

While praising him, she couldn't help but think in her heart that she was also married to the right person, and it was her luck that such a good-looking rich and powerful person fell under her pomegranate skirt. Thinking about it this way, she smiled.

About two months later, canals and dams were built in other provinces, and when there was another big flood in the south of the Yangtze River, the water flowed smoothly to the north, but the flow rate and flow were still a little smaller.

The overall results are still satisfactory, and this year's floods in Jiangnan can be regarded as the most successful one.

The flood in the south of the Yangtze River was successfully controlled, and the people returned to the capital on the next day, and within half a month, the carriage and horses entered the city gate. Early in the morning of the second day, the courtiers hurried to the main hall.

Above the court, everyone bowed their heads and bowed to them. Qi Junqing, as a great hero who had just returned to Beijing after controlling the water, ranked first, and as soon as he straightened his waist, he felt as if there were countless eyes with unknown emotions coming from behind.

The emperor on the high seat stroked his beard with his hand, and his eyes were full of approval, "King Ruxian's success in controlling the water has benefited the people of Jiangnan, which is really a blessing for my dynasty and should be rewarded!" After finishing speaking, he bowed slightly.

"Back to my father, this time the ministers tried their best, but they still couldn't control the flood faster, and now they don't dare to be rewarded." Qi Junqing stepped forward and bowed his hand, his face was calm as usual, the court has always been jealous of his courtiers' high merit, and if he invites merit at this time, it will inevitably be too public.

In addition, the idea of water control was not put forward by himself, so it is better to be humble at this time.

The emperor's hand stroking his white beard suddenly paused, frowned slightly, and in a blink of an eye, he thought of the scene of the day before, when he summoned the important ministers of the court alone. At that time, the prestige people of the dynasty thought that King Ruxian was a great master, and if he was sealed again, his ambition would increase greatly.

The emperor was not without consideration for this. Now that he saw his son returning in high spirits, his momentum was overwhelming, and he had a lot of worries in his heart.

"If you don't want to be rewarded, I will extend the rest time," the emperor's eyes flickered, and the long beard on his lips moved, "King Ruxian was injured in the battle before, and he was worried about the floods in the south of the Yangtze River a while ago, so he should also rest and rest!" ”

Hearing this, Qi Junqing couldn't help but be slightly stunned, "Father Xie is caring and compassionate. Then he lowered his eyes and slowly retreated back to his original position.

It seems that after his return this time, the situation in the DPRK and China seems to have changed! The hand hidden under the wide sleeves closed and opened, opened and closed, and he was suddenly a little confused, was it right or wrong for Mao Sui to recommend himself to go to Jiangnan?

Father's statement is very meaningful, ostensibly for his own good, but in fact, it is not a manifestation of alienation? After thinking about it, Qi Junqing decided not to speak out for the time being.

Before long, some courtiers stood up, claiming that in recent years, all the affairs in the provinces have been complicated, and it is better to set up a prince and solve problems for the emperor.

"Aiqing, what do you mean by this?" The emperor's face was displeased, and the thumb of his right hand kept rubbing the white jade wrench, he was not old yet, and these individuals began to fight the idea of establishing a prince?

The few people who had just proposed knelt down in fear, and the shoulders of the leader trembled, "The emperor forgives the sin, the old minister can't bear to see the emperor working on state affairs, why not let the prince share the trivial matters for His Majesty?" With that, he lifted his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his sideburns.

Seeing this, the other person stepped forward and said: "The old minister also thinks that the prince should be appointed, not only for Your Majesty, but also for the prince, so that the prince will have the opportunity to experience a little training......" The voice became smaller and smaller, and the last word could no longer be heard.

Qi Junqing, who was standing in front of him, was not shocked on the surface, but in fact, what did these people want to do? Not long after I came back, I ran into someone recommending Lichu, and I felt uncomfortable, but I could only endure it.

Seeing that the emperor impatiently handed a look to the eunuch next to him, he immediately spoke, "Let me consider the matter of establishing the crown prince, and all Aiqing don't have to worry, just retreat from the court." Without waiting for the courtiers to react, he got up and took his hands and strode away.

The whole hall was silent, no one dared to stop it, and after the father-in-law announced his retreat from the court, everyone shouted long live. Qi Jun walked out of the palace gate with cold eyes, and there was nothing to do for a day.

It was night, the dormitory was bright, and there was a slender woman standing next to the carved hollow smoker, with skin like mutton fat and beautiful jade, and her face was like a lotus with clear water, and three thousand green silk were scattered behind her shoulders, adding a little elegance.

I saw her gently wipe off the water droplets on her hands, and then walked to the dragon bed, "Your Majesty, the concubine will rub it for you." As he spoke, he put his hands on the temples of the man on the bed.

"Concubine De is hard," the emperor half-closed his eyes and whispered to the woman beside him, "Recently, I have been unhappy, and I feel much more comfortable being pressed by you like this." ”

Concubine De, the movements of his subordinates changed again. Although she is forty, she is still beautiful and moving, and her posture and posture are not inferior to those of the young concubines. Because the women in the palace are extremely well maintained, Concubine De does not look old.

"It is an honor for a concubine to serve the emperor." As she spoke, she moved slightly, leaning forward slightly, her arms touching the emperor's shoulders, intentionally or unintentionally. For a long time, the emperor did not react.

Just as she was about to think he was asleep, he raised his right arm and motioned for her to stop.

Concubine De stopped, straightened her clothes and leaned on the cushion, feeling happy in her heart. She had also heard about the court this morning, should she now take advantage of His Majesty's overnight stay here......

"Concubine De thinks who among the princes is better?" The Emperor squeezed her hand, his eyes full of tenderness.

After thinking about it for a while, she replied: "The concubines are a woman, and they only know that the princes have their own advantages and disadvantages, and there is no absolute excellence. This is unbiased, but there is some truth in it.

The emperor bowed his head, and Concubine De was not partial to her son, which was really unexpected!

"Your Majesty has a certain number in his heart, why bother asking his concubines," she sneered, rubbing the emperor's arms as if flattering, "Our emperor is not as mature as Qi Junqing in some aspects, but it is more expensive." ”

Concubine De is like a loving mother, counting the things Qi Xiangtian has done since she was a child, and there are some interesting things.

Hearing this, the emperor only nodded silently, and had already made a decision in his heart, although Qi Junqing performed better, but after all, he committed some taboos, so it was a pity.

Early the next morning, the decree was delivered to Prince Xin's palace.

After Qi Xiangtian received the decree, the little eunuch flattered and said, "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince." Then he saluted again.

He couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips and clenched the yellow silk cloth in his hand, but he didn't expect to pick up such a big "pie" before he could move.

In just one day, the people of the whole country knew that the emperor had established the crown prince. At the same time, Qi Junqing ordered someone to pick a congratulatory gift and send it to Prince Xin's mansion, which was regarded as congratulatory congratulations.

That night, Qi Xiangtian was drunk and went to Baihuayuan to be happy, and the people in the house couldn't stop him. When the subordinates were anxious, they had to follow the master step by inch.

"Drink, drink!" Surrounded by a group of fireworks women in the center, he said drunkenly.

The servant tugged at the corner of his clothes, "Son, stop drinking, hurry back to the house!" The words of begging were quickly drowned out by the woman's coquettish voice......

The man in black in the distance snorted coldly, and then walked out of the Hundred Flowers Garden. This Qi Xiangtian is really bold, he has just become the prince, and he doesn't know what restraint is.

The night was silent, and everything was silent.

The emperor who was lying on the table was furious, raised his hand and lifted the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of him, "Rebel, you don't know how to clean yourself, and you do such a humiliating thing to the royal family!" ”

The eunuch knelt down straight, and when he saw the iron and blue color of the saint, he guessed what had happened.
