Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 505: New Favorite (1)

She was born a fool!

Concubine Qin couldn't cry anymore, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said bitterly: "Yes, yes, I am short-sighted, narrow-minded, and come up with some bad ideas. You can do whatever you want in the future, don't care. me."

The fourth prince sighed and slowed down: "Mother, don't be angry."

"On weekdays, I'm a little careful to think about small calculations, that's all. At this time, I should focus on the people and the stability of the court. If I really do like what my concubine said, I will only go to the If you retreat, what will the court officials think of me? What will the royal father think of me?"

"Look at my eldest brother, I hurt a leg and walks bumpily, and I refuse to rest in the house. I have been living in the household for seven or eight days. I have good hands and feet and can run and move, how can I rest?"

Concubine Qin was dumbfounded for a moment and sighed.

Born in a family of heaven, as a prince, every word, deed, and every move are watched.

It's really unseemly to be lazy.

"By the way, where is Li Changren?" Concubine Qin suddenly thought of the Fifth Prince: "He has set a marriage plan and will get married in May this year. It's not too young, so it's time to learn to be an errand!"

The fourth prince hummed: "When the third brother went to Pi County, he took the fifth brother with him."

Concubine Qin was completely speechless and had to tell the fourth prince to take care of his health.

Turning her head, Concubine Qin praised the fourth prince fiercely in front of the Queen Mother Zhao.

The Empress Dowager Zhao has always preferred the fourth prince. Furthermore, the fourth prince has acted well in the past two years, and he is indeed commendable.

So, Empress Dowager Zhao summoned Emperor Yongjia again to show merit for the Fourth Prince.

In these days, Emperor Yongjia was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground. He hadn't eaten or slept well for several days. Listening to Empress Dowager Zhao's talk again, my head hurts even more: "Now I'm busy with disaster relief. When everything is busy, it's not too late to talk about meritorious deeds."

Empress Dowager Zhao felt distressed about her son again: "You are also in your forties. No matter how busy you were when you were younger, you have to eat and rest on time, but don't hurt the dragon's body."

Emperor Yongjia cheered up and said with a smile: "I am not a child, and I have to worry about my mother."

The Queen Mother Zhao smiled and said: "Don't say you are in your forties, you are sixty-seven. As long as the Aijia is here, you will always be the son of the Aijia. If the Aijia doesn't care about you, who will be hurt."

After a pause, she said in a low voice: "After this busy period, the Aijia will talk to the queen again and choose some new people to enter the palace. The emperor is busy and hard all day, and there must be someone around to take care of him."

Emperor Yongjia didn't refuse this time, but said, "We'll talk about it after a while."

……

Five days later, the court received a memorial from the crown prince and the third prince.

Lu Mingyu also received a letter from Li Jing.

This letter is only a thin page, with only a few lines, and the handwriting is flying like a phoenix. It can be seen how busy Li Jing is.

"The snow disaster in Zheng County was severe, and more than 100 people were frozen to death. Many people were starving. The scene was full of horrors..."

Looking at it, Lu Mingyu felt worried, frowned and looked down.

When Li Jing arrived in Zheng County, he immediately ordered the county magistrate to open the warehouse to release grain and provide relief to the people. It never occurred to me that the food in the warehouse in Zheng County was less than 30% of the amount on the account book.

In a fit of rage, Li Jing ordered his own soldiers to take down the county government office, and interrogated the magistrate and the county magistrate one by one.

It turned out that most of the food in the warehouse was sold. On weekdays, when the spring grains come down, and the grain depots are quietly replenished, no one will know. I never thought that this year, I encountered heavy snow that has not been seen in more than ten years, and I need to use the grain stored in the grain depot. Zheng County panicked.

After Li Jing asked about the situation, he put all the officials in the county government office in Zhengxian in jail, took over the affairs of the county government office in person, and ordered the warehouse to be opened. While sending the memorial to Beijing, he asked the court to send food immediately.

When this memorial was presented to the imperial case, Emperor Yongjia was immediately furious, and immediately issued an decree, ordering the Ministry of Household to allocate food. He also ordered the Ministry of Personnel to immediately select several officials to fill the vacancies in Zheng County.

As for those daring officials, they will be escorted into the capital when Prince Li Jing returns to the capital, waiting for the Ministry of Punishment to interrogate and convict them.

Compared to Zheng County, the disaster situation in Pi County was much lighter and smoother.

About half a month later, Li Hao returned with Li Chang and five hundred personal soldiers.

Li Hao has been trained in the army for two years and is very capable. This time, I went to Pi County for disaster relief, and I also did a good job. It is Li Chang, who has been away from Beijing for a month. He has also matured a lot, and he has a similar appearance when answering.

Emperor Yongjia was very relieved to see it in his eyes, and praised Li Chang with a smile: "I look at you, much stronger than before. In a few months, you will be an adult when you get married. At that time, I will also send you some errands, you should learn to be errands."

Li Chang is rarely praised once, and he straightens his back with excitement: "Yes, Erchen must be a good servant."

Li Hao said with a smile: "Why wait until after the big wedding. The fifth brother is also sixteen, and he has listened to the government before. I urge the father and the emperor, and now send the fifth brother an errand and let him learn to be an errand."

Emperor Yongjia was happy to see that his son was promising, and said with a smile: "Alright, then go to the Ministry of Industry."

Among the six ministries, the officials of the Ministry of Personnel were promoted and had the greatest power. The matter of the Ministry of Rites in charge of the imperial examinations is the most noble. The Ministry of Household is in charge of the country's money and grain, and has the most oil and water. In contrast, the Ministry of Industry is obviously a bit worse than the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households.

However, Li Chang is not qualified to be picky, and he honestly thanked his grace.

Emperor Yongjia saw Li Hao becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, and praised Li Hao with a smile: "You have done this errand quickly and well, and Li Chang has made great progress when he went out. This is all your credit. I have to do well. Reward you."

Li Hao said with a smile: "My son really wants to ask my father for a reward. This new year, I have been busy with disaster relief, and my father has not been able to take a good rest. My son wants to hold a small banquet in the mansion, please The eldest brother, the fourth brother, and the two concubines will go. Please also honor the father and the emperor, and give honor to the sons and ministers."

The son is serving wine, and he invites his father to the banquet.

What's the reason for being a father?

Emperor Yongjia readily responded.

Li Hao smiled slightly~IndoMTL.com~ and said, "Thank you, Father."

……

Li Hao held a banquet at the Mansion of the Three Princes, where he invited the consorts of the princes, and even Emperor Yongjia went there in person. Li Jing did not come back from the disaster relief work in Zheng County, so naturally he could not attend.

Lu Mingyu's stomach is bulging day by day, and there is an upright reason not to go.

Emperor Yongjia was in high spirits and was drunk. He didn't return to the palace that night and slept in the mansion of the Third Prince. The next day, Emperor Yongjia took a day off and stayed at the Third Prince's Mansion for another day.

Emperor Yongjia didn't leave the Third Prince's Mansion until evening.

Furthermore, I brought a gentle and beautiful girl back to the palace.

This newly favored beauty, who has not yet been named, was placed in the Yihua Palace where Concubine Su lived before her death. That night, Emperor Yongjia stayed in Yihua Palace.

When the news reached Lu Mingyu's ears, Lu Mingyu frowned, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
