"Your Highness, do you want the Secret Guard to start doing it now?" Seeing this, Ji Hong asked quietly.

When Yuan Zhi heard this, he shook his head and said awefully:

"Wait, let's wait and see, I don't know what the battle situation is in the Western Regions and the Northern Frontier?"

At this time, Yuan Zhi seems to be more calm and careful, he will not be reckless enough to force people too much, and let the traitorous party group jump over the wall in a hurry.

"Oh..."

Ji Hong hung his head and stood tall, he was slightly disappointed.

His secret guards have been staring at these corrupt officials for a long time, spending too much energy, according to the temperament of the prince in the past, now should be the time to order the net to be closed.

In this way, everyone's efforts and dedication can also be affirmed and rewarded in a timely manner.

I never thought that the prince said that he would have to wait a little longer, and it would depend on the battle situation in Guo Dashuai's frontier.

At this moment, the prince suddenly became much calmer, which made Ji Hong feel at a loss.

This is all carried out according to the order of the crown prince.

"Duke, do you know why Lone is not in a hurry to close the net?"

After hearing this, Ji Hong hurriedly shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince's thoughts, how dare the slave and maid speculate?" ”

Not to mention how Ji Hong could sit firmly in the position of governor, and even the power of the chief of the inner department was pinched to death.

This careful and cautious mind alone cannot be compared with ordinary people.

Yuan Zhi glanced at him, smiled and said indifferently:

"There is still a winter before the Chinese New Year, and Ma Feihai's dam building project of the Ministry of Industry is still in full swing, and it still needs the cooperation of the current incumbents of the Ministry of Industry, so it is not appropriate to have a commotion now and affect the established policy of completion at the end of the year."

"It's not too late to start after they finish it, anyway, if you don't eat the next year's dinner, however, this time you only start the construction department, and the other departments are temporarily immobile, and the meal always has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the scope is too wide, and our official reserves are not allowed, and we can't digest it, understand?"

Ji Hong's face suddenly appeared, and he said: "The slave and maid understand, His Highness is eloquent and strategic, and I will not be as good as His Highness." ”

"Less sycophants, the governor is thoughtful and resourceful, lonely or clear?"

Yuan Zhi smiled and affirmed, waved his hand, and said:

"Let your people continue to stare at it, you can't relax in the slightest, you must be quick when you do it, you have to catch it all, everyone has stolen money, and you can only have two silver to give everyone New Year's money." In addition, you go and quietly tell Ma Feihai that he must consider carefully the candidates for the main positions in the Ministry of Industry, and the water conservancy project after the beginning of spring cannot be delayed. ”

"The slave maid obeys the order, in addition, His Royal Highness asked the slave maid to carefully check the files of the main members of the Cao family, all of which have been prepared, please take a look at it."

What Ji Hong presented was a thick stack of materials.

Not to mention that the Cao family is lush and leafy, and the files of the main members are piled up, which is really powerful.

This is not counting his henchmen and minions, if they are all involved, let alone hundreds or thousands of people.

Just like Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's handling of Hu Weiyong and the Lan Yu case, just cutting off the head is tens of thousands.

That's an exaggeration.

It's all cut down, who will do things for Lonely?

Yuan Zhi's eyebrows furrowed, looked at it briefly for a while, and raised his head with a wry smile: "Okay, Dugong, you go back to run an errand first, and watch it carefully when you are free." ”

Ji Hong left, Yuan Zhi took out a few copies of what he needed, and handed the rest to Wei Changjin, the Zhan Shi of the East Palace, and asked him to read it carefully, sort them according to their grades and official positions, list them one by one in a tabular form, and then submit them.

Approaching evening, Yuan Zhi finished reading the files he was currently concerned about, and after pondering about it, he set off and drove to the Xianglan Palace.

Xianglan Hall is the Orchid Garden where Cao Feilan lived in the past.

The Orchid Garden has been expanded and upgraded to a palace, which is in line with her status as a side concubine.

At present, the heroine of the East Palace is the side concubine Cao Feilan.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

Hearing the rumor, Cao Feilan hurriedly came out to greet her, "The concubine has seen His Royal Highness. ”

"Don't ask for so much etiquette, tell the imperial dining room to pass the meal here, and I will share dinner with you here today."

"Yes."

Although Cao Feilan was a little stunned, she quickly asked her personal maid Xiaoxiang to pass the meal.

Soon, dinner was served from the Imperial Dining Room of the East Palace.

I saw that most of the dishes on the table were vegetarian dishes, only two braised eggs, and a bowl of egg drop soup.

The sauced beef was apparently cut out on the fly.

Yuan Zhi was quite stunned when he saw this.

"Recently, the border war, coupled with the natural disasters in the Central Plains, the treasury is very tight, and the concubines feel that the daily food in our East Palace is really extravagant and wasteful, so they took it upon themselves to change everyone's recipes and make the dining room thrifty."

Seeing that the prince's expression had changed, Cao Feiyan said repeatedly:

"If these are not to His Royal Highness's appetite, the concubine will let the imperial dining room make a few more meat dishes."

"No, that's good."

Yuan Zhi smiled, thought about it and added: "Lan'er knows how to be thrifty, which shows that you understand Lonely's mind very well. ”

Cao Feilan smiled lightly and said, "It's all His Highness's diligent administration, words and deeds for the country and the people, which infected the concubines." ”

Yuan Zhi bowed his head appreciatively, "This is too wronged to love the concubine, you don't need to be too harsh on yourself, the necessary nutrition still has to be guaranteed, and by next year, it is estimated that the national strength will be greatly improved." ”

Seeing the prince's praise, Cao Feilan was overjoyed, and she smiled brightly and said:

"Your Highness is busy with government affairs all day long, and all the concubines can do is this, which is insignificant."

took the initiative to put a piece of sauce beef in Cao Feilan's bowl, and Yuan Zhi said indifferently:

"I heard that your father and Cao Xiang are half-brothers, who served as the prefect of the county, the county guard, the prefect of the prefecture, the Jing Zhaoyin, until the right servant of the ministry, and then somehow angered his father, was demoted back to the county, and then demoted to the magistrate, and ran around for a long time, and entrusted you to Cao Xiang to take care of when he left Beijing?"

Cao Feilan's body trembled when she heard this, and she didn't know what the prince meant, so she hurriedly replied:

"Thunder, rain and dew, are all the emperor's grace, as a courtier, it should be all tiring, why worry about it."

In the archival materials provided by Ji Hong, Yuan Zhi was surprised to find that Cao Kesheng's demotion was a stumbling block secretly made by Cao Qichang, not the original intention of Emperor Jiye.

As for why, it is unknown.

He immediately had an idea.

"I heard that your father is still quite capable, and he has a high reputation in the jurisdiction, and he has done a lot of practical things for the people.

The crown prince took the initiative to care.

Cao Feilan listened, her delicate body trembled excitedly, she knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice:

"The concubine is acting on behalf of the father, thank you to His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"Oh, thank you, we are a family, and the lonely father-in-law has a hard time, so we can't turn a blind eye."

Yuan Zhi put his hands together and said softly, "Let's eat." ”

"Hmm."

Cao Feilan's eyes were red, and she felt that tonight's meal was particularly sweet.

When dinner was over, Yuan Zhi waved his hand to let the little eunuchs and the ladies of the thousand palaces leave.

This shows that the prince will sleep in the Xianglan Hall tonight.

Recently, the state affairs have been busy, Yuan Zhi has slept in the west study, abstinence for several days, and he wants to relax tonight.

Cao Feilan's pretty face was crimson, and she said shyly to the prince who came over with great interest:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, today... Tonight's concubine may not be able to serve you. ”

Well?

Yuan Zhi was stunned when he heard this.

Which one is this singing?

I just praised it, and I promised many benefits to her mother's family, why did she still twist her posture?

It stands to reason that you should not ask for it, so you should pounce on it and be coquettish?

Looking at the suspicious look on the prince's face, Cao Feilan lowered her head, bit her thin lip, and said:

"The concubine has been feeling unwell recently, and she always wants to vomit with acid and nausea. Liquid water often flows, especially at night, and for some reason, the concubines are afraid that they will ruin His Highness's interest..."

"What, sour nausea?"

Yuan Zhi listened, and was full of excitement, "Have you called the imperial doctor to take a look?" ”

"No... Not yet... The concubine found it difficult to speak. Seeing that the crown prince's expression was abnormal, Cao Feiyan was frightened, and her head shook like a merchant's drum.

This silly Nier should be pregnant.

Yuan Zhi thought of the thousands of children and grandchildren he radiated, the survival rate should not be low, and he didn't take any complete measures at the moment.

Xiao Nizi is a virgin, healthy, and has complete functions of various organs, so it is natural to win the bid.

"Silly girl, I'm going to be alone..."

At this time, Yuan Zhi was so excited that he couldn't express it, he was halfway through his words, and quickly shut up, and then leaned over and said in Cao Feilan's ear.

He wanted to wait until tomorrow to ask the imperial doctor for a diagnosis, and then it would not be too late to shout publicly.

"Ahh

Cao Feilan's eyes widened in surprise, her mouth was slightly open, she couldn't close it for a long time, and her pretty face, which was already slightly red, suddenly spread a layer of redness, and she looked intoxicated.

It can be seen how much impact Yuan Zhi's words had on her.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this... It's true, you won't—" she whispered, grasping the prince's arm tightly with her slender hands.

"Ouch, you are stupid, how can you talk about this kind of thing casually?" Yuan Zhi sank his face and said solemnly.

"Your Highness, this... The concubine was so happy. ”

Cao Feilan couldn't hold back any longer, she threw herself into Yuan Zhi's arms, her hands tightly wrapped around his neck, and her head lay on his chest, crying silently.

This year, she was sleepwalking, experiencing twists and turns, and her fate was unfortunate.

Unexpectedly, she achieved a positive result.

Heaven is still just and fair to her.

Yuan Zhi didn't move, he gently hugged her waist and stroked her pretty shoulders with both hands.

He understands Cao Feilan's mood very well at this moment, it is indeed not easy to get to this point.

Then let her snuggle up to her chest and cry heartily.

After a long time, Cao Feilan raised her head and said apologetically with her slightly red and swollen eyes: "Your Highness, go to Luan Feng tonight, and let her serve you." ”

"No... I'm not going anywhere tonight, I'm here with you, let's just talk and do nothing. ”

As soon as the words fell, he reached out to a princess and hugged Cao Feilan into the bed in the bedroom.

Cao Feilan's face was as red as blood, and she looked a little nervous.

Every time the prince says, 'talk, don't do anything', he always takes off his pants and farts, and he doesn't believe his words.

In the end, she always worked hard with real guns, so that she couldn't go to the ground for half a day.

"Don't be nervous, this time Gu said that it must count, absolutely no problem."

At this time, the prince was completely immersed in the excitement of being a father, and that desire had already been thrown out of the nine heavens by him.

His mind is now full of the joy of being a father, whether the child is born male or female, how boys are cultivated, and how girls are cultivated.

In short, he has a belly of words to say.

Think about it, in his previous life, he was a poor security guard, and when he reached middle age, he was still a three-nothing person.

He has no mother-in-law, no property, and no children.

I never thought that luck would come and I couldn't stop it.

Through ancient times, not to mention being the crown prince, there are also groups of wives and concubines, and it is inevitable that the children and grandchildren will be full in the future.

This is a portrayal of a perfect life, and there is green smoke rising from the ancestral grave.

This night, Yuan Zhi hugged Cao Feilan and said love words all night, and he kept his promise for the first time.
