In the Qinzheng Palace, the atmosphere was extremely solemn, Emperor Jia sat on the dragon chair, and several important ministers such as the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister, and the General all stood respectfully.

The Cao County Commander of Chun'an County, who was beating drums outside the Prince's Mansion, has already reported the specific matters that should be taken in the affected areas.

Although Cao County's order is not good-looking, his eloquence is excellent, and the facts expressed make everyone feel bitter and feel painful.

He bowed deeply and said: "The people are the foundation of the country, please let the emperor see it." ”

Emperor Jia said in a deep voice: "I have ordered all the troops to pacify the victims outside the city, and they will go back to reorganize their homes and live and work in peace and contentment. ”

"Ministers for the people of Li, thank you deeply for the emperor's grace, the monarch is like this, my dynasty will be prosperous and majestic." Cao Xianling shouted from the bottom of his heart.

Emperor Jia bowed slightly, pondered for a moment, and asked Prince Xian: "King Xian, you just came back from the south last night, have you seen or heard along the way?" ”

The prince replied truthfully: "Where the ministers passed, there were hundreds of miles of empty alleys, no one was inhabited, and there were sick and weak rotting corpses on the road, but the official road to Kyoto was heavily guarded, and those who were dressed in ordinary or tattered clothes were not allowed to pass, and the inspection was very strict. ”

He has said the key, the point is up, and the emperor will think of the rest.

Emperor Jia reprimanded angrily: "How dare you do such nonsense, if those people don't have the backing behind them, how dare they be so presumptuous, it's really unreasonable." ”

At this time, the internal supervisor reported: "The prince is always here." ”

"He's just in time!" Jiadi roared, slamming the teacup against the door.

The prince pushed the door in, and the cup slammed under his feet.

The emperor didn't know whether it was intentional this time, or it happened to be a coincidence, the prince was so frightened that he smoked, he carefully avoided the porcelain, stepped in, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Father, the son knows that he is wrong!" ”

Jiadi said angrily: "Do you know what is wrong! ”

The prince said in a panic: "The son of the emperor received the emperor's order to go to the disaster relief, originally wanted to share the worries of his father, but the son of the minister was inexperienced, and he listened to the slander of the prefect of Jiangsu and Zhejiang and the Nandu Mansion, and deceived the son of the minister, so he made a big mistake!" ”

When Emperor Jiadi heard this, he stared at him and said, "Then you can tell me how the two of them deceived you and how you were fooled." ”

"Erchen just arrived in the disaster area, they feasted and drank, saying that they were familiar with the disaster area and had a management plan, and said that the disaster relief would not use so much silver taels, and that the Xiongnu in the northwest often made trouble, and the war was tense.

"After a few days of presiding over the situation, Erchen obviously saw that the disaster had stabilized, so he came back to report to you, but now that I think about it, it was an illusion that they made people, deceiving the superiors and subordinates, and actually causing such a big incident today."

The prince had prepared his words before he came, and now he said it with a sad and angry expression, just like the real thing.

After Emperor Jia heard this, although he was angry, he had some doubts in his heart, the prince was really mediocre, but if no one lured him, he would never dare to hide such a big thing alone.

After he calmed down for a moment, he said, "I have sent a messenger to investigate, you had better settle down, and the remaining half of the disaster relief money will be used!" ”

The prince hurriedly said: "The half brought back, the sons have already sent it to the treasury, as for the half... Most of them are afraid that they have entered the pockets of the prefects of Jiangsu and Zhejiang..."

Emperor Jia glanced at him, a full 50,000 taels of snowflake silver, which was swallowed privately, Prince Heng is so incompetent, if he gives him the government in the future, won't he be uneasy!

But his sons are just two, two...

Jiadi raised his head, looked at Wang Zixian with a complicated expression, was silent for a while, and said: "The disaster relief matter has been arranged, so you can each go and get busy." ”

"Yes, the ministers are leaving." The ministers retired.

The crown prince was also about to leave, but as soon as he stood up, he heard Emperor Jia shout, "The prince stays." ”

He immediately knelt down again.

Outside the hall, Li Song, Wang Zixian and Zhang He stood side by side.

Zhang He said to Wang Zixian as he walked: "Lord, I don't know how the niece of the old minister is doing?" Hearing that she went to Fuyin Mountain, her three brothers and I were worried day and night. ”

The prince said: "Uncle don't worry, Zixuan is fine, but her shoulder is ... Injuries from sharp objects. ”

can't say that it is a secret weapon, if people know that Zixuan has dealt with the Huns, it will inevitably cause speculation.

"How's the injury?" Li Song and Zhang He both asked, but in Zhang He's tone, he was obviously more worried.

The prince said slowly: "Father-in-law and uncle-in-law can rest assured, in a few days, Zixuan's shoulders will be fine." ”

Li Song glanced at Zhang He embarrassedly, and sighed: "That's good, that's good." ”

Zhang He glanced at him disappreciatively, old thing, if you really care about Miss Xuan, how can you make her suffer so much in the house!

He turned his head and offered to the prince: "When she recovers from her injury, you take her to the house for dinner, her aunt has come back from her hometown, and then cook more delicious food, you will recover from a serious illness and replenish your body." ”

The prince smiled elegantly: "Zixuan also misses her uncle very much, and when she recovers from her injury, we will definitely come to the house as guests, but it will be annoying to my uncle and aunt." ”

"Eh, you're welcome." Zhang He smiled heartily, secretly looking forward to the day when the family got together.

Li Song raised a polite smile on the corner of his mouth, and walked between the two of them in wonder.

When the queen returned to the palace, she learned that the emperor had let all the important ministers leave, and only the prince was in the palace, so she immediately rushed over.

The prince knelt on the ground, and was scolded to the ground, and when he heard his mother, he cheered up a little.

Who knew that Emperor Jiadi didn't buy the queen's account at all this time, and even reprimanded her together: "A loving mother is a lot of losers, Prince Heng is mediocre today, Anzhi is not your fault as a mother!" ”

The queen said embarrassedly: "Heng'er is also the emperor's child, you are either too strict with him, or you scold, if the concubine is as strict as you, wouldn't it force our son to death." ”

With that, she hid her face and wept bitterly.

Emperor Jia scolded for a while, his tongue was dry, and the queen's crying annoyed him even more, and he roared: "He deserves to die, his qualifications are mediocre, and he doesn't know how to be diligent and restrained, those beauties in the prince's mansion are afraid that his soul will be scattered!" ”

After that, he looked at the prince angrily and said coldly: "I see, he doesn't want to be the prince anymore." ”

As soon as these words came out, the queen was stunned.

The prince is also extremely frightened, but in an emergency situation, no matter how mediocre a person is, he can also give birth to some wisdom.

He pretended to be heartbroken, and said: "The first time the son went to the people, he knew that the people's hearts were sinister, and he disappointed his father, and the son deserved to die. There is no complaint, just ask my father to dissipate his anger, don't make his body angry, otherwise, his son will not be able to forgive his sins even if he dies! ”

With that, he leaned down and knocked his head three times, and his forehead turned red.
