Phoenix Hairpin - Chapter 505

[Chapter 505 New Favorite (1)]
She was born a fool!
Concubine Qin couldn’t stop crying, 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 pay attention to me.”
The fourth prince sighed and slowed down his tone: “Concubine mother, don’t get angry.”
“On weekdays, it’s okay to be a little careful about small calculations. At this time, you should focus on the people and the stability of the court. If I’m really like what my concubine said, I will only
shrink
back when I encounter things, what will the court officials think of me?
I don’t want to rest in the house. I have lived in the household for seven or eight days. I am so good at running and moving, how can I rest?”
Qin Fei was dumbfounded for a moment and sighed deeply.
Born in a heavenly family, as a prince, every word, deed, and every move was watched.
Blindly being lazy is really indecent.
“By the way, what about Li Changren?” Concubine Qin suddenly thought of the fifth prince: “He has arranged a marriage and will get married in May this year. It’s not too young, so it’s time to learn to be a job!” The
fourth prince hummed: “When the third brother went to Pi County, he took the fifth brother with him.”
Qin Fei had nothing to say, so she 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, and moreover, the fourth prince has acted well in the past two years, and it is indeed commendable.
So Empress Dowager Zhao called Emperor Yongjia over again to show merit for the Fourth Prince.
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, his complexion was dark, and now he was full of blue shadows.
Listening to Empress Dowager Zhao’s message again, my head hurts even more: “Now I am busy with disaster relief, and when everything is busy, it is not too late to discuss merits and deeds.”
Empress Dowager Zhao felt distressed for her son again: “You are also in your forties. No matter how busy you were when you were younger, you have to eat on time and have a good rest, but don’t hurt the dragon body.”
Emperor Yongjia cheered up and said with a smile: “I’m not a child, and I have to worry about my mother.”
Empress Dowager Zhao smiled: “Don’t say you are in your forties, you are sixty-seven, as long as Aijia is here,
you will always be Aijia’s son. Aijia is not. Who cares for you.”
After a pause, he said in a low voice: “When the busy time is over, 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 it. ”
This time, Emperor Yongjia didn’t refuse, 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 Zhengxian County was severe. More than a hundred people were frozen to death, and many people were starving. The scene was full of horrors…”
Lu Mingyu felt worried when he saw it in his eyes, and frowned as he continued.
When Li Jing arrived in Zheng County, he immediately ordered the county magistrate to open the warehouse and put grain in order to help 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 anger, Li Jing ordered his personal soldiers to take down the county government office, and interrogated the magistrate, the county magistrate, and others one by one.
It turned out that most of the grain in the warehouse had been resold.
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 Zhengxian County Yali in jail, personally took over the county’s government affairs, and ordered the warehouse to be released.
While sending the memorial to Beijing, he asked the court to send food immediately.
This memorial was presented to the imperial case, and Emperor Yongjia was immediately furious, and immediately ordered 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 few daring officials, they will be escorted into the capital when Prince Li Jing returns to the capital, waiting for the Ministry of Justice to interrogate and convict them.
Compared with Zheng County, the disaster situation in Pi County was much lighter and smoother.
After half a month, 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 pleased when he saw it, and smiled and praised Li Chang: “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 an errand.”
Li Chang was rarely praised once, and he straightened his back with excitement: “Yes, Erchen must be a good errand.”
Li Hao smiled: “Why wait until the big one. After the marriage, the fifth brother is also sixteen, and he has listened to the government before. I implore the father and the emperor, and now send the fifth brother an errand, so that he can learn to be an errand.”
Emperor Yongjia was happy to see his son’s prospects, and said with a smile: “Alright, then go to the Ministry of Industry.”
Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Personnel has the most power for promotion and promotion.
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 was not qualified to be picky, and thanked grace honestly.
Emperor Yongjia saw that Li Hao became 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 reward you well. Yes.”
Li Hao said with a smile: “My son really wants to ask for a favor from the father. This New Year, I have been busy with disaster relief, and the father has not been able to take a good rest. The 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 brought wine and invited his father to the banquet.
As a father, how can there be no reason not to?
Emperor Yongjia readily agreed.
Li Hao smiled slightly, and UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com cupped his hands and said, “Thank you, father and emperor.”
…
Li Hao held a banquet at the Third Prince’s Mansion, and invited a group of princes and concubines, 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 third prince’s mansion for one night.
The next day, Emperor Yongjia took a day off and stayed at the Third Prince’s Mansion for another day.
It was not until evening that Emperor Yongjia left the Third Prince’s Mansion.
Moreover, he brought a gentle and beautiful girl back to the palace.
This newly favored beauty, who has no status for the time being, 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.
