After Xu Danian's letter was delivered to Fuzhou, there was no news, like a stone sinking into the sea.

There was no reply, and no supplies were delivered.

Fortunately, Xu Danian had already been mentally prepared, so he didn't feel any loss or disappointment.

Just like Yun Yu said, do what you should do, how to deal with it above is their business, as long as you don't make mistakes.

When you really blame it, you will find that you are not only guilty but also meritorious, which is the best way to deal with it.

However, the fact that Fuzhou did not react does not mean that the imperial court has not reacted either.

As soon as the news of Xu Danian's expected drought reached Cao Kexin, he immediately sent people to other counties to check as Yun Yu expected.

The news received was similar, with little rain in the spring and a dry summer.

His recital was immediately sent to the capital, and like Xu Danian, he cried and asked for milk.

The emperor praised him very much after reading his recital, and this kind of disaster was discovered when it was still in its early stages, which can be said to be very rare throughout the ages.

"Cao Kexin, as a parent official in a place, actually sees the people's livelihood and weather so accurately, which shows that he pays more attention to the things under his rule on weekdays."

"There is a great drought in Tongzhou, and there will be no harvest in the autumn, and the drought will turn into famine.

At the court meeting, the emperor praised Cao Kexin by name, and proposed to send people to the disaster relief.

But everyone knows that disaster relief is a thankless job.

If there are a few other signs of rebellion, it means that you are not good for disaster relief, and you will either lose your official position or be sent far away.

For a while, the atmosphere in the court was a little awkward, and no one dared to squeak.

After retiring from the court, the emperor returned to his study sullenly, thinking about who could go to Tongzhou.

Since no one took the initiative to stand up, he planned to force one person himself.

"Your Majesty, the prince of Qi asks to see you."

Outside the door, the voice of the chamberlain came.

"Let him in."

Later, Lu Ming walked into the room and saluted.

"I've seen Your Majesty."

The Emperor of the Qianchao Dynasty looked at Lu Ming in front of him with a smile, his nephew rarely entered the palace to see him.

I actually took the initiative to come to the door today, and I don't know what to ask for.

"What? What do you want me to do? First of all, if you want to run out of Beijing again, you have to speak, I won't allow it. ”

When Lu Ming heard this, he was immediately embarrassed.

Today, I heard that there was a disaster in Tongzhou, and the emperor wanted to send someone to preside over the disaster relief, but none of the civil and military officials took the initiative to go.

He thought that the opportunity had come, and no one wanted to go, he was willing.

I just came back from Tongzhou for four months, and I don't know how the construction of Qi County washer is, and Yun Yu's kid, I don't know if there are any new tricks.

This did not immediately enter the palace to request, but before he could speak, he was blocked by the emperor.

"What? Do you really want to get out? ”

When the Emperor of the Qianchao Dynasty saw him looking embarrassed, his eyes immediately widened, and he said casually, how do you know that this kid really has such an idea.

Lu Ming hurriedly explained:

"I heard that no one in the court is willing to go to Tongzhou, and it just so happens that my nephew has just returned from there and is more familiar with it, so isn't this ......?"

First the minister, then the nephew, this is public before private.

No one wants to do it, right, the emperor?

Private matter, I am your nephew, I don't stand up for you to share your worries, who else?

What's more, I just came back from Tongzhou, and I know the situation there well, and I am the most suitable person.

But the emperor didn't eat him at all, and waved his hand and said:

"Don't even think about it, I immediately ordered Liang Ji to be the head of Xingnan Road, and he was dedicated to Tongzhou disaster relief."

I've let you go out of Beijing and play crazy for a while, and this heart is wild.

In the months since he returned to Beijing, Lu Ming's name suddenly became popular in the capital.

It's not that he was a nobody before, but after returning to Beijing this time, he took the guards to pick quarrels and provoke troubles and find people to fight.

Although there is a reason for him to beat someone every time, and the person who is beaten also deserves it, the problem is that you are a dignified son, and you are the heir of the future emperor, and you beat people everywhere like a splash in the market, is this like a word?

If you are let out again this time, you will have to pick up a knife and cut people next time you come back.

Therefore, the emperor would never allow him to go out of Beijing again, even if he knew that Lu Ming was indeed the most suitable candidate to go to Tongzhou.

"Your Majesty, Liang Ji may be the chief official of disaster relief, but in the past, the officials under the disaster relief all went up and down, and they were respectful to the officials on the surface, but secretly they stretched out their hands indiscriminately and bent the law for bribes."

"The minister thinks that another person needs to be picketed in secret, but the minister is not talented, and he thinks that this person in the secret is none other than the minister."

Your Majesty, let's just say, just make a light and a dark.

I went out secretly and secretly watched for you, so that the safety was guaranteed, and I could also find out those rats who were up and down, so that the relief of the imperial court could be better implemented.

"I have my own opinions on this matter, you are good to go back to your home to study, and the affairs of the court are not the time for you to intervene."

This is obvious, go back to study, the affairs of Shaoshen and the court, when the time comes, there will naturally be a time for you to play.

Want to get out of Beijing? There are no doors!

Seeing the emperor's resolute attitude, Lu Ming couldn't help but show disappointment, lowered his head and retreated.

was listless along the way, so that those who saw him thought how much he had been wronged.

But when he returned to the house, he immediately became energetic.

When I ran to my study, I saw a middle-aged man carrying a pot of wine and pouring it non-stop, and there was a braised pig's ear and a sauce of meat on the table.

"How? What did my emperor's brother say? ”

Lu Ming's eyebrows fluttered and said, "As my father expected, Your Majesty did not agree. ”

King Qi raised his eyebrows and said with some pride:

"I knew he wouldn't agree, and in the end you still have to rely on you to get out."

"But let's talk about it first, the kid surnamed Yun you said has to bring me back, you have been with others for a few months, and you have learned these two crafts, are you ashamed?"

"Bring people back, no matter what kind of talent he is, and teach the cook in the house to leave."

Lu Ming smiled bitterly, in order to go out, he also let go.

took out the two braised vegetables that he had learned with great difficulty to fool his father, and tempted him to help him leave Beijing on this condition.

"Okay, you will pretend to be my guard later, and go hunting with me out of the city."

"When I go back to the city, I will go to explain to the emperor, you have to play around, you still have to do business, just like you told the emperor, you are the eyes in the dark, staring at those officials in Diantongzhou, and finding out a few people to deal with."

"This can not only show your ability and prove that you are doing the right thing when you go out of Beijing, but also block the mouths of the ministers, so that they don't chew their tongues behind their backs."

Later, His Royal Highness King Qi, the god of war, went out of the city with a group of guards, and went into the mountains to hunt in the name of beauty.

On the second day, he returned to Beijing and went straight to the palace.

According to the eunuch on duty, the emperor had a big quarrel with the king of Qi for some reason.

When the king of Qi left the palace, he was in a state of apprehension, and the emperor smashed several beloved artifacts in a row before he calmed down his anger.

And when Lu Ming saw Yun Yu, it was already a month later.

At that time, Yun Yu was playing backgammon with Duoduo in his new home, so comfortable.
