Gong Qian served the emperor for lunch, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Wei Zhishan appear at the door of the imperial study, still holding a familiar envelope in his hand.

Soon there was a rumor outside, "Commander Wei asks to see you." ”

"Come in."

What Wei Zhishan presented was indeed a secret report.

Gonggong Qian stepped forward to take the secret report and asked the emperor, "Your Majesty, do you want to read it now?" ”

The emperor put down his chopsticks and opened his hand at Father-in-law Qian, who hesitated slightly, but still put the letter in the emperor's hand.

I saw the emperor tear open the envelope, and as the letter paper was pulled out, the red sand inside also spilled out.

The meal was unbearable, so Father-in-law Qian hurriedly beckoned people, removed the food in front of him, and replaced it with a new table.

"I won't eat it." Before the emperor unfolded the letter, he knew that the letter was definitely written by Meng Changqing.

Sure enough, it was Meng Changqing who came to ask for something again.

In the first half of the letter, Xie Shengshang pardoned Beishan County for three years of taxes, and in the second half he cried poverty, saying that it was not easy to feed the people of a county, and asked the emperor to give him 5,000 catties of potato seeds and 5,000 catties of bud grain seeds.

Meng Changqing went to Liangzhou for half a year, and a total of two letters came.

Both of them are all about things.

But then again, what I asked for this time is nothing compared to the previous ones.

These thousands of catties of things, there is really no need to go around in front of him, is it possible that with his relationship with Meng Changqing, he can't find these things?

The Emperor put away the letter and looked at the red sand on the table.

At this time, the meal had been removed, and the palace maid was about to come over to clean up the table, but the emperor stretched out his hand to block it, and the palace maid was so frightened that she thought that she had recklessly slapped the emperor's eyes, and her face turned pale with fright.

The emperor pinched up the red sand and asked Father-in-law Qian, "What does this mean?" ”

"This ......," Father-in-law Qian looked stupid, "and it looks like sand." ”

"I can't see that? Well, it's useless to ask you. The emperor held the letter in one hand and the red sand in the other.

He knew that Meng Changqing had strange ideas, but he did things reasonably, and since Hongsha appeared in the envelope, he must have good intentions.

Before the emperor could figure it out, he heard rumors from outside that His Royal Highness had come to greet him.

"Biography."

The emperor handed over the things in his hand to Gonggong Qian and asked him to put them away.

Father-in-law Qian looked at the small handful of sand grains in the palm of his hand, so he could only find a small jade bottle and put it away.

When he returned to the emperor after storing his things, what he heard was that the third prince asked the emperor to let him go to the south.

It was in the name of greetings.

"In recent years, there has been a lot of rain in spring and summer in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are frequent floods in the river area, all because the officials below have been too corrupt in the repair of the river.

Father, son, are willing to do this.

Although the son is young, he is the son of his father, and he is willing to inspect the repair of the southern river on behalf of his father. ”

The emperor looked at the third prince with a complicated look in his eyes, "Who told you about the repair of the river?" ”

After a slight pause, the third prince said quickly: "It was Erchen who heard Taifu talk about the large and small floods in the south in recent years, and many of them were man-made disasters, so I remembered this matter." ”

"How much do you know about water conservancy?" The Emperor asked again.

"Erchen ......" the third prince said: "Erchen doesn't understand very much, but there is no shortage of officials in the court who know how to water conservancy, and Erchen wants to ask his father for permission......"

The Emperor interrupted him and asked, "How much do you know about the South?" ”

"Erchen has never been to the south, so he doesn't know much about the south." The more the third prince talked, the more unconfident he became.

"Then ask a nearby place, do you know what kind of fields are planted in the fields of the people in the capital? With what? ”

This question was not prepared in advance, and the third prince could only reply stubbornly: "Plant more rice, and the people eat rice all day long." ”

The emperor sneered in his heart, "How old are you this year?" ”

"Father, my son is eleven this year."
