As soon as the sky was bright, the officials who rushed to the court stood in two rows at the gate of the Jinluan Palace, regardless of martial arts, each of them had a helpless face on their faces, among them, the face of the household department Shangshu was the most ugly, the household department was in charge of disaster relief funds, but the situation in Xijiang this time was really uncontrollable.

The dam collapsed and caused a flood, and the people of the Ministry of Industry could go to repair the dam again, if this was all they wanted, they only needed to allocate some disaster relief funds, but now Xijiang is not only a flood, but also a sudden plague, half a month has passed since the accident in Xijiang, and the imperial doctors sent over have been killed and injured, and the plague is still helpless.

I heard that even the youngest son of Prime Minister Shui was infected with the plague, and he fell in the mansion and hung with only one breath, such a serious epidemic, who dared to go to disaster relief?

The ministers stood silently outside the Jinluan Palace, and half an hour later, the crown prince Xiao Yanchen, Xiao Lanshu, and Xiao Yuqing came to the outside of the palace with their front and back feet, and the three of them hypocritically greeted each other, and then came to the outside of the Jinluan Palace.

Xiao Lanshu is now working in the household department, although he is hanging on weekdays, but now something big has happened, he has not considered it for a few days and nights, and he still has no law, the imperial court has spent too much money over the years, and the household department does not have much money, and this time Xijiang does not know how much money and food to be allocated.

The most important thing is that even if the money and food are allocated, the epidemic can't be cured, and those things are not given to the dead in vain, Xiao Lanshu saw the old face of the Hubu Shangshu and his head hurt, so he stopped with a sigh and let the Hubu Shangshu look at him, he didn't move anyway.

Xiao Yuqing and Xiao Yanchen took up their posts in the Ministry of Officials, this matter has nothing to do with them, Xiao Yanchen didn't take this matter to heart at all, it is impossible for the emperor to send his son to disaster relief in such a dangerous situation, as for the prime minister's family in Xijiang, the prince wishes that they would die there, so as to solve his confidants.

Xiao Yanchen didn't look nervous at all, he stood at the front leisurely, glanced at the irritable Xiao Lanshu beside him, and laughed lowly, "The third brother doesn't have to worry so much, there are hundreds of civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty, and they will always come up with a plan, the imperial brother can't think of it, and the father and the emperor will definitely not blame the imperial brother." ”

Xiao Lanshu said sarcastically with a cold face, "The imperial brother is leisurely, and he doesn't take this matter to heart at all, so naturally I can't compare with the imperial brother." ”

The prince narrowed his eyes, the tip of his tongue went up, the third mother died early, and was fostered under the queen's knees in the past, the third mother was favored during her lifetime, but she was quietly killed by the queen, I don't know where Xiao Lanshu got the news, and he and the queen were targeted everywhere.

The prince was already unhappy in his heart, and after thinking about it carefully, it was time to teach Xiao Lanshu a lesson, so that he would know what would happen if he offended himself!

Xiao Yuqing stood quietly behind the prince, watching the conflict between Xiao Lanshu and the prince with cold eyes, but he thought of countless countermeasures to the matter of Xijiang in his heart. Xiao Lanshu has courage and no strategy, the prince has no fear, both of them have nothing to do about this matter, if he can come up with a way to deal with it, he will be able to jump to the front of the people, and the scenery will be prosperous.

Half an hour later, the door of the Jinluan Hall was opened, everyone entered according to the order, the emperor entered from the left, and everyone knelt down and saluted, shouting long live.

The emperor thought about Concubine Shu's plan for a long time yesterday, and had already come up with a way, and now his face was much better than a few days ago, he sat down on the dragon chair, motioned for all the ministers to get up, he looked around for a week, and asked: "Today's morning, I don't talk about the side, it's still the matter of Xijiang, and now it's been half a month, and no one has come up with a way to deal with it!" The emperor patted the golden dragon on the armrest, "A bunch of waste-"

"Your Majesty is angry—" The ministers knelt down in fear, sweat already oozing from their foreheads.

"Wu Yong!"

Tobe Shangshu closed his eyes fiercely and knelt down and moved out of the crowd, "Minister, minister." ”

The emperor stared at him, took a deep breath and asked, "What are you doing with this household book! I can't think of anything after half a month, what's the use of keeping you!"

"Back to the emperor, the ministers and ministers have been thinking about disaster relief strategies for the past few days, and they don't dare to delay at all. "Wu Yong was sweating profusely, and the imperial history sent over half a month ago died in Xijiang, and since then, no one dares to go.

The emperor was also worried that sending people to death would be in vain, and he did not know who to send. But now, the emperor narrowed his eyes and said in a deep tone: "The matter of Xijiang has been going on for half a month, if it continues to drag on, there will be countless casualties, and the most important thing now is to stabilize the hearts of the people. ”

As soon as the emperor's words fell, the ministers kneeling below suddenly understood the emperor's meaning, and everyone looked at each other, thinking that His Majesty was on a whim or too loving the people, and under such a serious epidemic, he actually wanted to appoint the prince as a messenger!

The emperor glanced at his three sons silently and said, "Do you have any candidates?"

The ministers did not dare to move on their knees, and no matter which one they chosen, they would offend people, and it was better to kneel on the ground and be a dead man.

Taifu also knelt on the ground, his brows were tightly locked, he couldn't think of what the emperor had in mind, to tell the truth, if there was no epidemic in Xijiang, he would have asked the prince to invite himself to go to the disaster relief, but the trouble was precisely the epidemic, even the most skilled imperial doctor in the palace died of the epidemic, how dare he let the prince go!

The prince's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked to the center of the hall.

Taifu's heart trembled, and his pupils dilated slightly.

The emperor was overjoyed, thinking that the crown prince was indeed a person who loved the people.

Xiao Yuqing, who was standing on the side, hung his head and hooked his lips.

"Father, there is a candidate for the son. As soon as the prince's words fell, the emperor's face sank, and he sighed and said, "Who is it?"

"Erchen thinks that the third brother has been working in the household department for a while, and the third brother's ability Erchen believes that his father is also very trustworthy, and the candidate for this time is none other than the third brother. "The prince is complacent, the emperor has a total of three sons on duty in the court, how could the emperor let him, the prince, be in danger, no matter which prince goes this time, he is the one who benefits.

Taifu sighed angrily.

Xiao Lanshu walked out, his brows furrowed, "Back to my father, my sons are willing to go, but if there is no effective way to treat the epidemic, my sons are worried that even if they go on this trip, there will be no return, and the top priority is to find someone to treat the epidemic!"

Xiao Lanshu's words also revealed that he didn't want to go and be afraid of death, the emperor was angry and angry, his face became more and more ugly, he didn't expect that none of his three sons had the courage, the emperor looked at the prince with some disappointment, and pointed the finger at his brother at the critical moment, the prince was becoming more and more ignorant.

As for the five princes who stood in place and didn't even have the courage to come out and speak, the emperor didn't even give a look.

The emperor was silent for a long time, and was about to get up and retreat from the court, when he saw the five princes who had been standing on the side without saying a word walking into the hall, and a clear voice sounded in the hall, "Father, the sons are willing to take people to Xijiang for disaster relief and share the worries of their father!"

The emperor's movements to get up were sluggish, and he sat down, the expression on his face was indescribably tangled, he never expected that Xiao Yuqing, who was like a shadow on weekdays, was willing to take it, but the crown prince, who was the future emperor, did not do anything.

The emperor was still very optimistic about Xiao Yuqing, he glanced at the prince standing on the side, "Prince, what do you think?"

The prince kept kneeling on the side to give the prince a look, but the prince was immersed in the joy that he was about to get rid of the two opponents, and he was overjoyed, and said loudly: "The son thinks it is very good, the third brother has the help of the fifth brother, and the disaster must be alleviated soon!"

The emperor almost crushed the handrail, and barely pulled out a sneer, "In that case, the third and fifth, you will lead people to Xijiang." Retreat!"

The emperor quickly got up, and left the Jinluan Hall like a wind, Xiao Yuqing and Xiao Lanshu glanced at each other, and left the Jinluan Hall without saying a word.

As soon as the crown prince left, a message came from the queen's palace inviting him to come over.

As soon as the prince stepped into the gate of Kunning Palace, he heard the suppressed roar of the prince inside: "Nonsense!

The crown prince quickly walked into the palace, "What happened, why is grandfather so angry?" ”

The prince thought that he was about to solve the big problem of his henchmen, and the Taifu should praise him, but the Taifu's eyes were red, and he was so angry that his beard was about to fly.

The queen frowned, "Father, listen to me, the emperor did a good job this time, if he really goes, it will be trouble!"

"Hmph, that's true, he really can't go, but he is so straightforward in the Jinluan Palace, indifferent to the emperor's temptations, do you know what the emperor thinks of him in his heart!

"As the crown prince, my son shouldn't have go, and Xiao Yuqing and Xiao Lanshu can't come back, no matter how angry the emperor is, what can he do. The queen couldn't see her beloved son being pointed at her nose and scolded, so she snorted coldly and went back.

"You, you!" Taifu got up angrily, pointed at the queen and the prince with a trembling hand, stopped for a moment, threw off his robe and left, and was extremely disappointed in his daughter and grandson!

The queen was also angry, patting her chest and her face flushed.

The prince frowned, and became more and more resentful of the prince, since he was a child, the prince never gave him a good face, and he always made his mistakes everywhere, always asking him to flatter those brothers, and he was dignified His Royal Highness the prince, and he actually wanted to learn from the villain.

The prince clenched his hands, Taifu has been so old for so many years, I'm afraid he is also big-hearted, he can't help him now, and when he ascends the throne, he must take care of this old puppet who doesn't take him seriously!

In that compartment, Xiao Yuqing took the carriage, and after leaving the palace for a while, he hooked the corners of his mouth slightly and laughed presumptuously.

I don't know who is behind him to help him, with today's experience, the prince's image in the emperor's heart is becoming more and more dim, which is a great thing for him!

This Xijiang matter, as long as he can solve it in one sentence, the prince, what is there to fear!
