Chapter Twenty-Seven: Have a Good Time
When Fu Yun entered the palace, the early dynasty had already dispersed, so he went directly to the Qinzheng Palace, and before he entered the palace, he heard the angry scolding from inside.
Fu Yun slowly paced to the side, looked at the chief eunuch standing at the door, and raised his chin to point inside.
"Back to the second prince, it is the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household that are inside, because of the disaster in the south last year, Your Majesty is angry!" The chief eunuch smiled and whispered.
"Disaster in the South? Isn't it already solved? ”
"It's... The old slave didn't know. The chief eunuch lowered his eyes and said.
Fu Yun didn't ask anything more, just waited boredly outside the door, and after a while, he saw the people inside coming out one after another.
"I've seen the second prince."
The faces of everyone who came out were ugly, but after seeing Fu Yun, they still tidied up and then bowed and said hello.
The adults saluted Fu Yun, and Fu Yun also bowed slightly.
After everyone left, Fu Yun straightened his robe and walked slowly into the Qinzheng Palace.
Before Fu Yun could greet the emperor, he heard the emperor's voice floating: "Do you still know to come?" What to do? ”
Fu Yun glanced at the crown prince standing beside the emperor, and saw that the prince shook his head slightly, and then quickly bowed his head and saluted before replying: "The son has come to ask his father for peace." ”
"Do you know how to come and say hello? Aren't you pretty chic? If you don't want to go up this court, you won't come, and you can come whenever you want to come to this Qinzheng Palace. ”
"I don't know what my father meant?" Fu Yun continued to pretend to be stupid.
The emperor took a deep breath, sat down on the chair behind the table, stared at Fu Yun and asked, "Did you have fun yesterday?" ”
"Back to my father, it's okay."
"Okay? I see you're having a good time! Now the whole capital knows that His Royal Highness, the second prince of the night country, was bewitched by beauty, abandoned government affairs, left the main room, and took a concubine to play outside for a day, and Shi Shiran returned to the city a moment before the city gate was closed. The Night Emperor slapped the table.
Fu Yun listened to the accusation of the Night Emperor, looked down at the ground and was silent.
"Talking, dumb?"
Fu Yun raised his head and looked at the Emperor of the Night Kingdom, and said word by word: "Erchen has nothing to say, yesterday Erchen just took the woman he liked out to play for a day, it was a trivial matter, but I didn't expect to be caught by a good deed and make it like this; What's more, the sons thought that if the father wanted to ask the emperor, he should not ask the sons and sons, but ask those who did good deeds, and those who had to pass on such trivial matters to the palace. ”
"You're right, if you don't do these things, will someone catch you?"
Fu Yun was silent, and the emperor continued: "Haven't you been fooling around enough on weekdays? Don't forget, you also have a second prince's mansion, and there is a second princess concubine in the mansion that you are marrying, if you don't go back to the prince's mansion on weekdays, forget about your second princess, but you don't want to go too far, so blatantly slap your second princess's face and the face of the Guogong Mansion. ”
"Father, this matter is indeed not all Ah Yun's fault, Ah Yun is at fault, but if these mistakes are placed in ordinary people's homes, it is not a big deal; But because Ah Yun is the prince, there are naturally more people staring at him, and even some small things will be used by people as a handle to attack him and embarrass him. ”
Fu Kong watched quietly on the side for a long time, his father was angry, he was angry, he should be angry, Fu Yun did something wrong, and he was scolded for so long, and he was punished for doing something wrong, so he spoke.
"It is precisely because of your noble status that you should pay more attention to proportion, and don't be attacked by others at will."
"Yes, father, the son knows."
"Erchen understands."
What Fukong said, the emperor himself knows, just watching his favorite son who has been given a heavy responsibility casually being attacked by others, and he can't be too partial, and the anger in his heart, in addition to reprimanding his son who made mistakes, not only out of the breath in his heart, but also let him be punished, so that others are not good to say anything.
After all, in this world, how many punishments can be more serious than making the emperor angry and reprimanding! And it can make people keep silent!
The emperor reprimanded Fu Yun, Fu Kong saw the opportunity to play a round again, and a small turmoil passed like this.
"You two, what are your thoughts on the construction and improvement of water conservancy in the south? Those people in the Ministry of Industry have been working for a whole winter, and they have given me such a result! Spring ploughing has already begun, and if it is not handled well, the people on both sides of the river will be busy this year. The Emperor flipped through the recital of the workshop and asked his two sons.
Fu Yun stepped forward and took the fold that the emperor opened and put aside, looked at it carefully, and then said: "Father, what is said above is also the truth, if you want to build it all, it is indeed a large amount of work, whether it is financial, material, or manpower, it is a great consumption, and now the people want to start spring ploughing, and there is not so much manpower to build these rivers, and last year the disaster in the south was too wide, the Ministry of Industry can do this after a winter, and the important river section has been completed, which is already good, Now the main thing is to repair the remaining river channels, and this year should be fine. ”
"The problem now is that it is the spring ploughing season, and the people can not miss the spring ploughing because of the construction of the river, otherwise there will be no harvest in a year, but the construction of the river is also imminent, if it can not be built in time, there will be a few heavy rains in the summer and autumn, and the river will burst the embankment again, and the people on both sides of the river will be affected again, and now the lack of manpower is the biggest problem." Prince Fukong said.
"Is there anything you can do about it? Although the main body of the river repair has been completed, the more fragile the place, the easier it is to break the embankment, once there is a place to break the embankment, it will not be a trivial matter. The emperor said with a headache.
After a long while, Fu Yun raised his eyes and looked at the prince with an inquiring look in his eyes, the prince glanced at Fu Yun, and then said, "Ah Yun, if you have anything to say, just say it!" ”
Hearing this, the emperor looked up at Fu Yun.
"Yes." Fu Yun bowed, and then said: "Father, the retainer has an idea, that is, let the prisoners in the prison go to help build the river embankment, so that they can atone for their sins, and they can also recruit beggars from all over the city, just take care of them two or three meals a day. ”
After Fu Yun finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the hall.
"This...."The Emperor hesitated.
"Father, the son thinks this method is feasible. It not only solves the problem of manpower, but also solves the problem of social security, anyway, those beggars living on the street are not only begging, but also fighting on the street to find trouble; And those prisoners who are in prison, some of them will be imprisoned for 10, 8, or even decades, if they are allowed to go to atone for their crimes and be released from prison early, it is not impossible, of course, not everyone can do it, and the people who are released from prison must also be verified, so why not? Fukong thought for a moment and said.
"I'll think about it again." The Emperor waved his hand, and then continued to flip through the pieces on the table.
Fu Kong walked to a table not far away and sat down behind a table stacked with musicals, took a copy of the musicals, and flipped through it.
Since Fukong became the crown prince, the emperor of the night country has always taken him with him to learn to deal with political affairs, and the courtiers are generally read by His Royal Highness the prince first, and the prince who can handle it will deal with it himself, and those who need the emperor to make a decision will be presented to the emperor for processing.
But the prince deals with government affairs, in addition to the East Palace, the most important place is the Qinzheng Palace, which has two tables, one for the emperor and the other for the prince.
The father and son discussed some other matters, and I don't know how long it took, Fu Yun looked at his father and brother who were dealing with government affairs on the desk, and saw that they didn't seem to have time to take care of themselves, Fu Yun bowed and slowly withdrew from the hall.
After walking out of the main hall, Fu Yun exhaled and walked towards the outside of the palace with a relaxed expression.
Fu Yun did not return to Jinyuan immediately after leaving the palace, turned around at the intersection, walked for a while, came to a mansion, and looked up to see that it was the Second Prince's Mansion.
Fu Yun looked at the door, his eyes narrowed, but soon, the corners of his mouth hooked a mocking smile, brushed his robe, walked up the steps, and walked towards the mansion.
The little guy at the door watched Fu Yun come in, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly saluted, although he was surprised, he did not panic in the slightest.
Fu Yun crossed the small house, entered the gate, and walked straight towards the backyard, and came to the Furong Courtyard, which is the residence of the current head of the Second Prince's Mansion, the second princess Liu Wangqiu.
When Fu Yun walked into the Furong Courtyard, the maids in the courtyard saw Fu Yun, and a trace of surprise appeared on their faces, and then a trace of joy also appeared, and they almost forgot to salute and greet each other.
Liu Wangqiu is stroking the piano in the wing room, the sound of the piano is tactful and sad, there is a faint sadness on her beautiful face, her eyes are looking ahead but she is not looking, her fingers are playing unconsciously on the piano, and the sound of the piano at this time is a portrayal of her state of mind.
Fu Yun didn't let the maid report, Liu Wangqiu's mind was immersed in the piano, and naturally he didn't know that Fu Yun was coming, and when Fu Yun walked in, he saw Liu Wangqiu with a sad look on his face.
Fu Yun was stunned, this was the first time he had seen such a Liu Wangqiu, such a Liu Wangqiu was very similar to the year when Bai Yimeng first came to the Night Kingdom, full of a faint sadness and loneliness, thinking of this, Fu Yun couldn't help but feel tight, but soon threw away such thoughts.
After a while, Fu Yun saw that Liu Wangqiu had not come back to his senses, raised his hand and clenched his fist against the corner of his mouth, coughed slightly, Liu Wangqiu, who was distracted, came back to his senses, slowly raised his eyes to look at the source of the sound, and was stunned when he saw Fu Yun, and did not react.
