"I summoned you, and naturally I also intended to let you go to the disaster relief."

"King Jing has already gone with the army, how can I say that he is also your future father-in-law! It's fitting for you to step in. ”

"It's just that this distance is far away, and your body doesn't know if you can stand it!"

Yes, the third prince has always been sick, and rumors have been circulating in Beijing that he will not survive the crown.

But he was good and bad for a while, and he dragged on for many years, and the emperor was also worried about it.

The third prince said solemnly, "For the sake of the country and the people, even if the ministers fight for their lives, they will do this well." ”

The emperor was even more worried, and said, "My son can't be forced? ”

"This matter must be done quickly and thoroughly."

"If you have concerns, I can choose someone else, and you must not be strong."

The third prince knelt on the ground again, kowtowed three times in a row and said, "The son is willing to go!" ”

At the same time, he raised his head and looked at the emperor with burning eyes.

The Emperor looked at his flushed forehead and said with his determined expression, "Then I will send you." ”

"You must know that in the past two days, the DPRK and China have been arguing non-stop over the selection of candidates."

"I also put a lot of pressure on you to go, and now the government and the opposition are paying attention to this matter."

"I consider that you have never dealt with such an incident and are inexperienced, so I will send you two deputies."

"They are General Wang and Chief Chen of the Ministry of Households."

"There are two of them by your side to help, if you encounter something that you can't get right, you must ask these two."

"It's the sons who understand, and Emperor Xie is thoughtful and arranged for the sons."

"Look at what you said, after all, you are my child, and I understand that I have snubbed you all these years."

"It's just me," the Emperor said, pausing here.

His expression was a little tangled, and he continued, "I feel guilty sometimes. ”

"At the same time, it's also very difficult, you, you should understand," the third prince avoided the emperor's gaze, revealing a hurt expression.

"Erchen understands. ”

The third prince made a pitiful look.

The emperor immediately reassured and said, "In this matter, you represent me, don't worry, if anyone dares to embarrass you." ”

"I will not spare them."

"When you come back, I will definitely add you to the rank and knight."

"Pack up, let's go."

"Yes, the retainer is commanded."

"The method you said is really helpful," the third prince said to Hua Yan on the return carriage.

"Emperor, I originally had a lot of concerns."

"I made a pretense before him, and he immediately dispelled his worries and aroused his pity for me."

"This trick can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

"Master Gao Ming, you played really well with this hand, just to take advantage of the emperor's unbearability, so that we can better plan for big things."

The third prince nodded again and again, "We can go out of Beijing tomorrow, but we have added General Wang to the team, and Master Chen is a civil servant and a military general." ”

"The emperor's way of balancing is really good!"

Hua Yan laughed softly, "After all, he is a person who has sat on the throne for so many years, this is the king's way of balance, and he must be perfect." ”

The third prince snorted coldly.

Hua Yan then analyzed, "That Wang Counselor General, who is known as a wise man in the army, is a righteous person. ”

"Master Chen, I haven't heard of it on weekdays, and I think it should be the confidant of the Hubu Shangshu."

"Otherwise, the emperor would not have rashly sent him to accompany you on the expedition."

"These two are the left and right lieutenants, your safety is also guaranteed, and everyone is more assured."

The three princes, as the disaster relief governor sent by the imperial court, was immediately announced by the emperor in the court.

Xia Qingqing also received the news in the mansion, she patted her chest and said, "It's okay, it's good that it's him, if it's really the two wine bags and rice bags of the eldest prince and the second prince, I really don't know what to say." ”

"What the master said is that if the third prince goes, it will be much more convenient."

"Presumably he cares about his relationship with you, and he will be kind to the old prince."

Xia Qingqing quipped, "What, you all thought of this?" ”

"Is it me who marries him, or is it you?"

"Miss, what's the difference? Left and right are all family. ”

Xia Qingqing pursed her lips and didn't take any more stubble, turned around and went back to the room.

Sitting at the desk, the pen seemed to be writing something, and after a long time of lifting the pen, a drop of ink slipped from the tip of the pen to the table.

Good rice paper, with a little ink in the middle, can no longer be used.

Xia Qingqing sighed, looked out the window, and didn't know what she was thinking.

Seeing this, Xiaoqing coughed lightly, and Xia Qingqing came back to his senses, "Oh, my rice paper!" ”

"Miss, if you look at it any longer, it is estimated that the second drop of ink will fall on the rice paper."

"What about you, why don't you remind me!"

"You're thinking so much? Who would dare to disturb you? "Okay, you, you can count your mouths," Xia Qingqing cleaned up her irritable mood.

Mention it again and write it down, the third prince, how are you doing lately? As you may have heard, my grandfather led his troops out of the city a day ago to the north to rescue the natural disaster.

I heard that you, as the Governor of the First Rank of Disaster Relief sent by the Holy Father, are going to the Northland to comfort the people who have been affected by the disaster.

It's bitter cold in the north, and I have prepared some cotton clothes and food here that you can bring.

Among the rescue teams organized by Bai Yutang, they had already set off and rushed to the north.

If it's convenient for you on the way, I'll ask them to wait for you, and there will be protection for everyone walking together.

The letter was passed on to the third prince through the pastry shop.

After the three princes relied on the ministers, they sat down in the room.

After inhaling and exhaling three times, he solemnly opened the letter and laughed unsurprisingly.

"This Xia Qingqing is such a wonderful person, and he asked me to help his grandfather find a way."

"But I didn't even ask for a word, I really didn't treat me as an outsider!"

The third prince put on a high hat for himself and imagined himself for a long time.

Xia Qingqing's relationship with him must have gotten closer, and it won't be the same as before.

If there is a gap between the two, it must be eliminated, and he hopes to take the opportunity of sharing the disaster with King Jing this time to make King Jing change his opinion of him.

At the very least, you have to take off the hat of frailty.

He couldn't help but regret what he had done by the pool in order to get out of the marriage.

Open the drawer and pull out another letter.

The first sentence is also the third prince, how are you doing lately?

Not surprisingly, every time Xia Qingqing writes to him, he will definitely have this sentence.

I really don't know what kind of impression he left on Xia Qingqing at the beginning?

Do you think of him as a ceramic man? It's still the kind that shatters when you touch it.

He flipped the letter over and over for a long time, touching and touching it, reluctant to make the paper crumple.

After thinking about it for a while, he took out a pen and paper and copied it again, and put Xia Qingqing's letter in a drawer in a good manner.

He took the letter he had personally transcribed into his bosom.

I patted it again uneasily, walked to the window, and looked at the peach blossom tree in the yard.

In winter, the trees are bare, and the trunks are visible.

Without seeing a little green, he couldn't imagine what the snow in the north looked like.

Ice and snow, covered in snow, I have only seen it in books, if it weren't for their proper operation this time.

Presumably not, let this opportunity fall to him.

In fact, the people who oppose the eldest prince and the second prince to go to the disaster relief in the DPRK and China, in addition to the fact that these two have been fighting, it is he who made people deliberately write to the emperor.

The more voices of contention and opposition between the DPRK and China, the more favorable it is for him to pretend to be weak in front of the emperor.

The emperor thought about it for a while, and then handed over this matter to him, which must have taken into account the weak body he had shown before.

The old prince marched all the way, and finally came to the disaster area after five days and five nights.

As soon as you enter the northern realm, the weather immediately becomes colder, and there are snowflakes everywhere.

The old prince asked, "Is it?" Just into the north, it's so cold? ”

"I really don't know how the local people spent this heavy snow for many days!"

He was even more anxious in his heart, and he wanted to fly to the disaster area immediately, just because he was in a hurry for days and people were sleepy.

Seeing that the destination is ahead, it is time to stop and rest.

The army camped on the spot, and in the evening, the subordinates brought a pot of mutton soup.

They sat around in their tents and discussed the situation and how to solve it.

"The old prince's mutton soup is ready, and my subordinates will serve you a bowl."

The whole tent was filled with the umami smell of mutton soup, and the interior was warm compared to the cold outside.

The old prince looked at the fragrant mutton soup in his hand and frowned.

"Lord Wang, don't worry, it's coming soon."

"We have brought a lot of relief materials, and when we arrive, we can save a group of people first, whether it is food or use, we can distribute them first."

"The emperor has already issued an order to send the three princes over with disaster relief materials from the imperial court."

"Presumably, it will come soon."

The old prince shook his head and said, "No matter how fast they are, they won't be able to arrive at the same time as us." ”

"You said that those people outside are looking forward to it day and night, although we have arrived, we only brought a small amount of supplies."

"How good is that?"

"There's no way around it," the general looked a little worried, "after all, we don't have time to prepare." "The emperor also asked you to investigate the affairs of the local officials first, and the disaster relief was handed over to the third prince."

"Even if we arrive, we must go first and check it out."

"Alas, the emperor attaches great importance to literature over military force, and the officials of the DPRK and China have a clear position."

"This is too conservative to know and not report, the delay in the disaster is already there, and the grasshoppers after the autumn will not be able to jump for a few days."

"I'm just wondering, who is its umbrella capable?"

"I have been protecting him, and it was not until today's inability to deal with the aftermath that it broke out."

"If it weren't for that, if he was a clean official, if he was the first to send an excerpt to the imperial court asking for help," he said.

"Presumably, not so many people will be displaced."
