In order to show the emperor's great image of compassion for the people and the disaster, the disaster relief team left the capital when it was mighty and well-known.

Now, under the leadership of Xiao Fangzhi, we have joined hands with local personnel to tide over the difficulties, and the disaster has been solved for three months, and Kezhou has gradually regained its former vitality.

After the success of the line, Xiao Fangzhi decided to go back, which was different from when he came, and he returned lightly, and only local officials saw him off.

The local officials shed tears of parting, thanking the benevolent prince for his farewell.

Although some things are not on the surface, they understand that if there is no prince, the current Hakshu may have become a dead city.

Earlier, many people fled to other places because of the epidemic, and their behavior was human.

However, many of the refugees were then driven back, and even the officers sent by the government to leave the capital were blocked by the officials and soldiers of the Closed Dao, and the Hakka government realized that the imperial court had completely isolated them.

This realization undoubtedly hit the confidence to persevere, even if the government is still persistent in appeasing the refugees in the face of desperate situations, but their hearts are fragile, like an earthen wall devoured by wind and frost, with a superficial side, which collapses and collapses at the slightest touch.

Just when they were struggling to support and didn't know how to persevere, the prince appeared, bringing hope, bringing light, and bringing them the determination not to give up or abandon in the face of difficulties·······

The crown prince has a noble status, but he has no arrogance, loves the people and is close to the people, and has done so many good things, but he never publicizes it much.

To avoid alarming everyone, and finally chose to leave quietly, the farewell official was not a taste in his heart, the prince acted so low-key, and there was no farewell team, so he was inevitably wronged!

……

……

Five days later, Xiao Fangzhi returned to a familiar place.

Xiao Fangzhi's return did not alarm others, but he only wrote to the emperor about his return and told him that he was alone.

Entering the city that day, Xiao Fangzhi didn't expect that so many people would gather at the city gate, and when he returned, the gongs and drums were noisy, and the people welcomed him, and it was very lively for a while.

Xiao Fangzhi walked in the crowd and became the focus of attention, with a polite smile on his face and a wave of greetings.

It wasn't until he got into the carriage waiting for him and cut off the sight of the outside world that Xiao Fangzhi restrained his smile and sat in the car with an expressionless face.

The welcome ceremony continued to the forbidden city, and hearing the voices of people cheering a thousand years old outside, Xiao Fangzhi was full of doubts.

The emperor is the most jealous of those who have merit and do not know how to converge.

Like now, the people praised, welcomed, and publicized his merits in Kezhou, and the emperor would never arrange such a thing.

He didn't know who started this kind of battle, it seemed to be to welcome him, but in fact it was to harm him.

The carriage came to the palace gate, Xiao Fang got off the carriage, and a group of courtiers knelt in front of the palace gate, and hundreds of officials gathered, chanting Chitose, welcoming the prince back to the court.

In front of the courtiers kneeling on the ground, there were two people, who were different from others, and they did not need to kneel, and bowed to the prince.

The smiling face leaves the marks of the years, and the gestures have their own domineering bearing.

Xiao Fangzhi stepped forward, looked at the two, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, the second emperor uncle, the fifth emperor uncle still has the same demeanor!" After the words fell, he looked around at the kneeling officials and said, "You all get up." ”

Hearing this, Baiguan got up and stepped aside.

The imperial uncle in Xiao Fangzhi's mouth is the two who did not kneel, and the eldest second imperial uncle Xiao Qiheng smiled: "The prince has been here for more than three months, successfully solved the crisis in Kezhou, cared about the people, and served the country and the people. I heard that the prince returned to the palace today, and Weichen specially asked for a decree to welcome the prince, paving the road for ten miles, the people cheered, and hundreds of officials greeted each other, and the prince was still satisfied with Weichen's arrangement. ”

Xiao Fangzhi sighed, and looked at Xiao Qiheng, who was like a fox in front of him, with a smile: "It's really worthy of being the emperor's uncle, I just came back, and I was put on a position by you before I saw my father." ”

Xiao Qiheng looked as usual and said, "What does the prince mean?" The saint sympathized with the prince's hard work, so he ordered the minister to make this arrangement, and the minister did his duty to serve the royal family, and there was nothing else to think about, and he didn't see him for three months, and the prince's prejudice against the minister was even more than before? ”

Bias?

Xiao Fang's heart said, it's not prejudice, but what you do shows your intentions!

Xiao Fangzhi was not interested in debating with him on this matter, looked around at everyone, and said, "Lone has not yet met the emperor, so let's disperse, and I will talk about it later." ”

"Yes! The ministers retired. ”

The ministers knelt down and left one after another, Xiao Qiheng and the other imperial uncle did not move, smiled and looked at the prince silently.

Xiao Fangzhi turned a blind eye to the deep meaning in their eyes, and said, "What, the two imperial uncles want to go to see their father with Lone?" ”

While speaking, Xiao Fangzhi had already led people into the palace gate and ignored the two of them.

Fifth Emperor Uncle Xiao Qishu looked at Xiao Fangzhi who was walking away, and immediately became anxious: "Second brother, the prince is gone, why don't you say a word?" ”

Xiao Qiheng thought of the dodging eyes of the prince when he left, and sighed slightly: "It's useless to say more, it's his father, no matter what we do, he won't change his original intention." ”

The two of them left the forbidden palace, Xiao Qishu followed him, and said worriedly: "Is it just that?" The fourth brother was imprisoned by him in the house, and no one was allowed to visit, and if he continued like this, he was afraid of accidents. If the crown prince intercedes for him, maybe there is still room for turning······"

"Think of something else! The prince had just returned, and this matter was not a last resort, and he could not be pulled in. ”

······

····

When Xiao Fangzhi returned to the palace, he didn't care about resting, and his first task was to face the Holy Temple, make a summary of the situation in Kezhou, and report it according to the facts.

Emperor Li, who was sitting on the dragon chair, listened to the prince's explanation, staring at him with a dusty face below, and exuding a strong coercion around his body.

Under that compelling momentum, Xiao Fangzhi stood straight, looking calm and letting him look at him.

This is their way of getting along, Xiao Fangzhi is used to his coldness, less cowardice at the beginning, and he can be calm in front of the emperor.

So, in a serious and depressing atmosphere, Xiao Fangzhi finished his report to Kezhou.

Emperor Li nodded with satisfaction: "The emperor has worked hard." ”

Xiao Fangzhi was very frightened: "Sharing the worries of the father and the emperor is what the sons should do, and the sons don't feel hard." ”

Xiao Fangzhi's plea for help, the emperor has not been approved, and now, in the absence of the imperial court's rescue, Xiao Fangzhi has relieved the danger of Kezhou, which is indeed the ability of a prince of a country.

Emperor Li said: "The treasury has been empty in recent years, and the Hakzhou is in great trouble, and the silver taels required are not a small amount, and I am ready to prepare for the silver taels to be sent to the people again, but I didn't expect the emperor to solve the problem and use the surrounding towns to reverse the Hakka disaster." The emperor has done a good job, and he has been rewarded for his great achievements. ”

"Father, saving the people is within the responsibility of the sons, and the sons dare not take credit." Xiao Fangzhi replied respectfully, thinking of the person who helped him come up with the idea, and said: "This matter is thanks to Yu Ziling, if he hadn't woken up Erchen, Erchen would not have been able to solve the problem of Hakshu smoothly." If the father really wants a reward, the son begs him to give it to him. ”

"Yu Ziling."

A name attracted the side glances of several other people in the hall, they were the guards beside the Emperor, and this would hear Xiao Fangzhi mention the people he hadn't seen for a long time, and his gaze at him was not as cold as before.

The emperor's reaction was different from theirs, his eyes were slightly cold, and he snorted coldly in his heart: Is it the shadow guard who disobeyed the order and finally recommended himself to run to the prince's side?

Emperor Li didn't like Yu Ziling very much, in his opinion, Yu Ziling was just a waste who relied on the fame of the shadow and had no real talent!
