Chapter 166: The Crown Prince The Emperor Needs

The soup kitchen looked at the brightly dressed group of people in front of him, and couldn't help but pinch for a moment, the girl at the front was the big girl next to the prefect's mother, and she was used to being commanding.

"Hey, fill this bowl to the brim, we're going to take it back to the government."

"Who are you, we are here to help the hungry, are you a hungry person, don't make trouble, or you will be whipped to death."

"You dare, I'm the big girl next to the prefect's wife, you pariah dare to talk to me like this, ah...... Who hit me. ”

As soon as the big girl finished speaking, the arm holding the big bowl was whipped, and the big bowl fell to the ground and fell into pieces, and the whip was so loud that the maids behind were so frightened that they shrank their necks and didn't dare to speak.

"They are the prefect's maids, and I heard that the prefect's mansion was looted last night, it seems to be true."

"The prefect has been ransacked, which good thing is this done, I want to kowtow to them and thank them."

"It's so happy, even the maid with a good face came out to ask for relief food, it seems that there is no food or drink in the house."

"It's good to starve this corrupt official to death, he has been in office for so many years, but he has made us miserable."

All kinds of voices reached the ears of these maids, and although they were angry, they did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction on their faces, otherwise they would not only not be able to eat, but they would also be whipped with whips.

"This little brother, I really haven't eaten or drunk in the mansion, why don't you give half a bowl, my master is still young, and he can't afford to be hungry." A grandmother stepped forward and pleaded with a sad look on the soup kitchener.

The soup kitchen man didn't know what to do, he glanced into the crowd, saw the gesture of refusal, and unceremoniously asked the group to be driven away.

The hungry people were also worried that the group had robbed them of their only source of food, and when they heard that the soup kitcheners were going to drive them out, they all gathered around, and some people took the opportunity to snatch their bowls, snatch their shoes, tear their clothes, and kick them a few times to vent their anger.

The secret guard hiding in the crowd rolled his eyes, his own master wanted to starve you to death, and he came out to ask for food, shameless death, let you also taste the taste of being starved to death.

When Ah Da learned about this, his heart moved, and he had an idea, he asked his henchmen to take the government soldiers, pretend to be hungry people, go to the government every day to make trouble, and the most important thing is not to let anyone in the government come out.

The soldiers finally tasted a full meal today, and they were all excited when they learned that it was the six princes who sent them food, and that they might have to change the current prefect.

As a result, the government has become a cage, and the people outside are abusing and throwing stones outside every day, and the people inside can't get out, and they can't say what they want to say, and they live every day like a year.

In the palace, the queen held a secret letter in her hand, and learned that her pair of children successfully found the Xiang family, and was brought back by the girl named Fubao, and her heart instantly relaxed.

"Fubao, if you can keep my prince safe and sound, I will definitely give you Jingxiu's future."

The queen folded her hands and made a silent promise, and read the secret letter again and again, until she could recite every word in the letter, then she lit the secret letter, and watched the sparks fly, and the secret letter turned into ashes.

The long-serving maid Rose next to her immediately disposed of the ashes and served tea to the queen again:

"The queen mother, the six princes and the four princesses will definitely be safe and auspicious, and the queen mother must be relieved."

"Say hello to the emperor."

The voice of the long maid Lily greeting was heard outside, and the queen and Rose glanced at each other, hurriedly sorted out their appearance, walked a few steps quickly, and saluted respectfully.

"Ruyuan, I am very happy today, you have given birth to a good son for me."

The queen looked at the emperor puzzled, the power in her hands was limited, and a lot of news was a little behind, unlike the emperor, what happened an hour ago, as long as he wanted, it would be presented in front of his eyes.

"I received a secret report that Han'er found the prefect in the Fucheng on the border of Xiangzhang, looted the people's fat and people's ointment, controlled the water source of the entire Fucheng, and sold it at a high price, and a bucket of water cost ten taels of silver, which made the people complain.

There are also government soldiers to guard the city gates, knowing that there is a flood of victims outside the city, but they have no intention of opening warehouses to release grain and relieve the victims, hoping to force those victims to go to the imperial city and cause turmoil. ”

"Ah, this prefect is too bold, how can he do this."

The queen was taken aback, the border of Xiangzhang has always been the territory of the noble concubine and the eldest prince, how can Han'er risk herself, it is too dangerous.

"Yes, these prefects and county officials always think that the emperor is far away, and they can be called the existence of the emperor of the soil in their own realm, which is really arrogant, this time Han'er has done a good job, and he will kill the chickens and monkeys, so that they know who is the real master of this world."

The queen smiled, originally the emperor wanted to establish Han'er as the crown prince, but it was only because Han'er was too young that it was delayed until now, but Han'er used practical actions to show that she was not at an advanced age.

"Ruyuan, I have a few candidates here to serve as the prefect of the Xiangzhang border, you see, which one suits your heart." The emperor took out a piece of rice paper with several names written on it and handed it to the empress.

The queen liked it in her heart, but she still bowed down and declined: "Thank you to the emperor for believing in the concubines, but the harem can't interfere in politics, and the concubines don't dare to discuss the government in vain." ”

The emperor smiled and took back the rice paper, he was very satisfied with the queen's performance, although he also wanted to make his son-in-law the crown prince in his heart, but if the queen's words and deeds were inappropriate and he wanted to participate in court politics, then he would have to think about it more.

"If you can rest assured, I know in my heart that if Han'er can avoid this catastrophe and turn defeat into victory, I will definitely try my best to override public opinion and make Han'er the prince."

"Emperor Xie"

This is the reassurance that the emperor gave himself, there is no shortage of princes in Dongshun Kingdom, but what is lacking is a prince who can take on great responsibilities, a prince who can unify Dongshun and Xishun, and a prince who can make the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is rich and the people are strong.

Although Shun Shihan is a son-in-law, if his ability is too poor, his head is not smart enough, and his actions are not decisive enough, then he will miss out on the position of prince.

"I'm going to the concubine, you're doing it."

The emperor didn't even drink a sip of tea, stood up and left.

"Congratulations to the Emperor"

The queen curtsied, watching the emperor's back disappear in front of her eyes, and then slowly got up with the support of Rose, but she silently thought in her heart: Han'er, you have to be careful, you must be careful.

The concubine was lying on the concubine's floor, the ground was full of porcelain pieces she had broken, and she tore the secret letter in her hand fiercely, her eyes full of murderous intent.

Shun Shihan, you are good, you are really good, you actually dared to rob my emperor's salt storehouse, you must know that those salts took a lot of hard work for their mother and son to obtain, just looking forward to the critical moment to come in handy.

"Check, send someone to investigate, how the sixth prince robbed the salt storehouse, where did he get all that salt, and what is the queen doing with this slut, I want to intercept all her letters."

The eldest maid beside the concubine hurriedly bowed, turned around and ran out, but she didn't run a few steps, and suddenly knelt down: "Greetings to the emperor." ”
