Chapter 818: Flood
Chapter 818 Flood
Xie Yunshu was in the early stages of her pregnancy in the first two months, and she was in a lot of trouble. Her body was extremely uncomfortable, and she had no leisure time all day long. She was miserable. I don’t know how many times I shed tears in my red eyes when facing the prince.
The prince was heartbroken and worried. However, he was worried about other things and could still help. However, no matter how anxious he was about this matter, he could only watch from the sidelines without any help.
Xie Yunshu lived like this day by day as if she was suffering. Just a few days ago, suddenly one day, she got up from her nap and looked at the mottled light and shadow falling on the ground outside. The wind blew gently, the leaves rustled, and there was a feeling in the air. There was something fresh and fresh, and her heart stirred, and she suddenly felt much refreshed.
After that day, the extremely uncomfortable feeling miraculously disappeared, I gained an appetite for meals, and there were more smiles on my face.
The prince was very happy when he saw this, and gave another reward to the East Palace.
But in mid-May, something extremely unfavorable to the prince happened in the court.
Extremely serious floods occurred in Kaifeng, Henan, affecting several counties and involving millions of people. The emperor was very worried and immediately sent Lin Yushi as an imperial envoy to the Kaifeng area to provide relief and alleviate the floods.
At this time, corruption related to repairing the Yellow River dam was discovered. The emperor was furious and conducted a thorough investigation. More than a dozen officials, big and small, were implicated and imprisoned. As for other minor officials involved, there were countless others.
What no one expected was that the prince’s aunt’s natal brother would also be involved.
After further investigation, it was found that Mr. The silver was actually cut in half.
As soon as this incident came out, the whole court was in an uproar.
Many high-ranking civil servants such as Hanlin and Yushi were even more disappointed.
In the hearts of these people, the prince is innocent and holy, with flawless conduct. The more such a person is, the more easily he will be disappointed and unacceptable when he is stained by a little stain.
There are some things that others can do. Even if you make a mistake, it doesn't matter. If you correct it, you can still get the saying "If you know you are wrong, correct it. There is no great improvement."
But the prince cannot.
The prince was extremely angry. The only thing he was glad about was that it was his eldest aunt's natal brother who was involved, and not his two uncles. Otherwise, it would have been even more unclear.
The prince had long seen through the psychology of these literary men Qingliu. They were very sad and abusive towards him. He did not buy it at all. He respectfully apologized to the court. That was because Mr. Xing was his relative who had turned around. He was fully responsible for this matter. On the other hand, he asked his father to conduct a thorough investigation to clear his name. He did not know how Mr. Xing followed his path, and he would not allow it if he did.
If his guess is correct, there must be something fishy about this matter. It must be that Mr.
A royal censor refuted it on the spot, "Prince, why do you keep making the same mistakes! Now that something happened, you deny it and take no responsibility! You say you don't know about this? But if it weren't for you, it would have been impossible for Mr. Xing to take office." , you don’t know how this is possible!”
The prince sneered: "Don't you have any relatives, or relatives who are separated by one or two floors in a roundabout way? It's possible that the lonely prince, instead of doing business all day long, just stares at what those relatives three or four doors away are doing. Why? How can I know everything about what they are doing secretly behind my back? Since the Lord said so, why not check all the relatives of the Lord and those who are separated by one or two floors? I also want to See if no one is doing anything in your name, and if you don’t know anything!"
“The Crown Prince is using strong words! You are the Crown Prince, not a scoundrel. Why do you say such scoundrel words? Aren’t you afraid of disappointing everyone?”
"What I didn't do just means I didn't do it. Is it possible that I have to accept it even if I didn't do it? I would rather argue with strong arguments than to be unjustly accused of being accused for no reason! Adults say that Gu is a scoundrel? Gu is just making a distinction for himself! Adults don't care. Isn't it a scoundrel to slander Gu Gu indiscriminately?"
"Your prince should be humble and virtuous, and always reflect on himself, instead of engaging in sophistry and quarrels like a scoundrel in the market. Your prince's temperament is not a blessing for Daxuan!"
"Shut up! I think you are relying on your old age to sell your old age, but you are here, I can't see it, it is a great blessing!" "You, you -"
“Father, please be aware of this and clear your name!”
The third prince then said: "Father, I also think that the crown prince is probably unaware of this matter. Please take a closer look. Mr. Ouyang, you'd better say less. The prince also says less. Don't do this in anger." The battle”
The emperor looked calm and ordered a thorough investigation.
“My dear father, thank you!” The prince breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked Long En.
The emperor is willing to order a thorough investigation, which means he has been believed. Otherwise, there is no need to investigate further, because the current "evidence is conclusive", and Mr. Xing became the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs through his path.
Fortunately, he has a good father.
Otherwise, what his father gave him at this moment was not an opportunity for a thorough investigation, but a scolding.
"Father, this matter is inseparable from my son. I request to go to Kaifeng to provide disaster relief and ask my father for permission."
"ah?"
"this"
There was a burst of gasping and low-pitched shouting in the court hall. Apparently, none of the ministers expected that the prince would come out like this. Even the ministers who stood by the prince were surprised.
The prince has never discussed this with them.
As for Mr. Xing's matter, they had discussed it privately in advance, and finally decided to act according to the opportunity and let the prince request an order for a thorough investigation first.
At this time, they cannot easily plead for the prince, otherwise the emperor may become even more angry. Only if the prince expresses his attitude clearly, the emperor may be able to calm down a little.
They didn't expect that Ouyang Yushi would jump out and criticize the prince's character. They were anxious about whether to speak, but they didn't expect that the prince himself would go into battle.
The emperor is not even angry
This is good!
It shows that the emperor's father-son affection for the prince is deeper than everyone thought.
But the Crown Prince requested an order to go to Kaifeng to provide disaster relief. This, this, this—
"Prince, Censor Lin has passed away. I think everything is going well now. There is really no need for you to go there again."
“Yes, Prince, we should consider this matter in the long term!”
The prince's courtiers were almost going crazy with anxiety, but there were many things they couldn't say in front of the emperor.
