Royal Gold Magistrate

Inside the imperial study

Emperor Jing held a pen in his hand, watching the memorial in front of him without moving.

Various thoughts kept churning in my mind.

According to the news from Neiwei and Nie Zheng, the prince should have returned long ago.

But until now there has been no news of the prince.

Emperor Jing already knew that Li Yuanzhao was hiding in Jianjiang City, and probably hung out with Fang Zhengyi.

And with Nie Zheng guarding him, there should be no need to worry.

But as time went by, Emperor Jing began to have doubts in his heart.

The sense of uneasiness is getting stronger and stronger.

The crown prince has been away for too long this time.

For some reason, Li Yuanzhao's face always flashed in Emperor Jing's mind from time to time.

Guo Tianyang looked at Emperor Jing in a daze, sighed in his heart, and guessed [-]% of the time.

Seeing that the tea in Emperor Jing's hand had been left for a long time, he immediately changed to a cup of hot tea.

After a long time, Emperor Jing put down his pen and sighed.

"I'm going south."

"what?"

Guo Tianyang was dumbfounded!

Go south!What's the point of going south for more than ten days after walking all the way?

The crown prince was led astray, and so is His Majesty?

Emperor Jing glared at Guo Tianyang: "Ah, what! I said I'm going south!"

Guo Tianyang's voice tightened, and he asked, "Your Majesty, why? If you want to leave, what will happen to the dragons in the court without a leader?"

Emperor Jing was silent for a while: "There is no war in the country, and other matters will be handled by the cabinet."

"For the land of the Three Houses, Jianjiang can be handed over to Fangzheng and Yizhen, but there is no room for loss in the other two places."

"Yang Yingcai is right. If the local government mismanages the situation and causes civil unrest, it will be my fault."

"Prince Jiaozhao, this matter concerns the face of the royal family. If the new law fails to relieve the disaster, then how should I face my ancestors."

"I have to go on this trip in person, so you can arrange it in advance."

Good reason.

You've said that, what else can we say.

Guo Tianyang really didn't want to make trouble.

I'm old, and it's uncomfortable to ride in a car. When I go out for a trip, I feel that my bones and frames will fall apart.

The emperor misses his son, so what can he do?

Guo Tianyang leaned over and said, "Do you need a servant to report to the cabinet?"

Once the decision has been made, the thought will flow through.

Emperor Jing picked up the pen and continued to review the memorial, without raising his head, he said, "Go."

.........

Guo Tianyang waited until the cabinet was notified. Unexpectedly, the elders did not quarrel.

They all nodded in agreement.

Li Yansong sighed, "Your Majesty... are you in a good mood?"

Guo Tianyang smacked his lips and thought for a while: "General."

Immediately after, Li Yansong asked again: "Long time no see, the prince, where is he?"

Guo Tianyang smiled and said, "His Highness is not in the capital."

All the elders sighed and shook their heads.

If he didn't run away, he must have gone fooling around with Fangzheng and won't be able to get back.

In addition to personally supervising the disaster relief situation, His Majesty went to find the prince.

Li Yansong said cautiously, "But with Fang Zhengyi?"

Seeing that the conversation was over, Guo Tianyang didn't hide it anymore.

"I don't know, but where else can I be besides being with your nephew! In the capital, His Highness is with him every day."

Then he leaned into Li Yansong's ear: "Gong Li, your nephew is too bold, please take care of him in the future."

"Don't spoil the prince with this lawless temperament."

"I......"

Li Yansong grew up and looked at Guo Tianyang in astonishment, and said angrily, "What! Is this going to make it through? If you want me to say it several times, this old man is not his uncle!"

Unexpectedly, Guo Tianyang left before he finished listening to the words. Before he left, he turned around and gave a wink, with a charming smile: "I understand!"

"Boom!" Li Yansong slammed his head hard on the table.

"Sin of a crime!!!"

"Hey! Mr. Li, don't be overthinking it! If you have something to say, just talk about it." Zheng Qiao hurriedly jumped from his seat and pulled Li Yansong down.

Li Yansong raised his head, looked at Zhang Dongxiang and Zheng Qiao, and said expressionlessly, "You are his second uncle and third uncle, why should you only mention me as one?"

"Ah... Mr. Li, you are dizzy! Take a break now."

Li Yansong rubbed his forehead and sighed, "I'm not fainted! Speaking of business, His Majesty will take at least a month to come back after leaving. We need someone to accompany us!"

"I don't want to go, I feel sick when I see Fang Zheng! tui!"

Zheng Qiao worried: "Your Majesty can go there for a month, can you do it?"

Li Yansong waved his hand: "It's okay, it's not a big deal now. Big things can't be bigger than the face of the royal family."

"If the work-for-relief really fails, what should His Majesty do, and how should he face the courtiers?"

Zheng Qiao thought for a while: "Then I will accompany His Majesty for a walk."

"Okay, his second uncle!"

Zheng Qiao's face suddenly grew long, and when he looked sideways, Zhang Dongxiang was just beside him, giggling.

Zheng Qiao stared at him bitterly: "Don't make trouble!"

.........

The emperor's southern tour was a big event.

Fortunately, many people have a tacit understanding, and this trip went very smoothly.

After preparing for a few days, they set off in a mighty way.

In addition to the accompanying minister, countless factory guards explored the way.

The preparation was extremely thoughtful, but the huge crowd undoubtedly slowed down the speed.

For 20 days, the emperor visited Yunlu Mansion in person.

Yunlu Mansion is adjacent to Jianjiang, and Emperor Jing and his party are still some distance away from the city, so the prefect of Yunlu led a group of people out of the city to welcome them.

Apparently the situation was urgent, prefect Yunlu and Tongzhi fell to their knees panting.

"Minister Yun Lu prefect Du Shun kowtows to His Majesty!"

Emperor Jing was expressionless, and said lightly: "Let's get flat."

The sight of the victims along the way was shocking, and Emperor Jing was always sullen.

Emperor Jing got off the carriage and said slowly: "This place is not far from the city."

Du Shun was in a cold sweat.

Complaining in my heart, there was no notice!Why did His Majesty suddenly come for a private visit!If the people below hadn't seen it, I wouldn't know what went wrong today!

He whispered: "Go back to Your Majesty, it's not far, just two cups of tea."

"Well, okay, then I'll take a walk."

"Be quieter, spread out! Don't disturb the people!"

Emperor Jing walked in front of Du Shun, heading towards Yunlu City.

Along the way, he kept looking at the surrounding environment.

At the same time, he asked: "Yunlu Mansion, how is the disaster situation handled?"

Du Shun said: "Return to Your Majesty, everything is in good condition now, and disaster relief is being carried out in an orderly manner."

"The gathering of disaster victims to Yunlu City has already stopped, and it will no longer increase."

"A total of 48 porridge sheds for disaster relief have been set up in the city, and two meals a day can keep the people full."

"Uh...the granary.. The granary minister has been guarded by heavy soldiers! Anyone who dares to greedy for food will be beheaded, there will be absolutely no problem!"

"Relief with work, and now a part of the money has been allocated to start the renovation of the government office."

"Roads, dams... are also being planned and built."

Emperor Jing didn't speak, and nothing could be seen on his expression, and Du Shun became more and more nervous.

Before they knew it, a group of people had already walked to the soup kitchen outside the city...
