Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

After Xiao Hua finished yelling at the top of his lungs, the entire hall fell silent.

The emperor looked at him with a dark face and was so angry that he wanted to kick him a few times.

I tried my best to help him get back together, but this guy just ran into me.

Okay, since you are so tactless, let’s go!

"Come here!" The emperor said sternly with a straight face, "Announce my decree: The fourth prince Xiao Hua is not allowed to enter the capital for ten years! From now on, Xiao Hua's descendants are not allowed to enter the capital without my decree! Anyone who disobeys my order will be executed immediately!"

what?

Xiao Hua was so scared that he slid to the ground.

"Father, you are wrong! The Xiao Chenyi you want to drive away is not me!" He screamed, trembling.

He set up this gambling game just to drive Xiao Chenyi away! How come he was the one who left?

Seeing the emperor's expressionless face, Xiao Hua panicked, and then he realized a fact that he had never faced: Could it be that Xiao Chenyi really won their bet?

"Father, I want to see Xiao Chenyi's answer." Xiao Hua's lips turned pale, his knees became weak, and he could not even stand steadily.

No, they must have misjudged it!

He was the first to bring up this matter and he understands it best.

Xiao Chenyi was in Shu, so it was impossible for him to raise silkworms and he definitely knew nothing about these things.

Something must have gone wrong!

Once Father understands it, he will change it back!

"I've shown it to you before." The emperor didn't want to waste any more time with this stupid son.

"I think you don't even understand what you are doing. No wonder you lost so completely." I gave him a chance, but he didn't seize it. Who should I blame?

"Go, say goodbye to your mother. I guess your mother won't see you again in the next ten years." The emperor said lightly.

I gave him opportunities again and again, but he pushed them away himself.

He has tried his best.

He really loves his son very much.

As a prince, he must keep his word and accept defeat if he loses a bet. If he punishes him like this, all the ministers will only admire him.

Well, losing a useless prince has brought cohesion to the court.

"Fourth Prince, please follow me." The eunuch beside the emperor sighed, walked up to Xiao Hua, and stretched out his hand to signal him to leave.

Xiao Hua felt dizzy and fell straight to the ground.

Xiao Chenyi sighed secretly: The fourth brother fainted at the right time! After fainting like this, the emperor is probably going to regret it again!

Whatever, he has won. If the fourth son stayed in the capital, the emperor would probably feel that he owed him and would compensate him.

Xiao Chenyi did not hold much hope that the Fourth Prince would leave.

All I can say is that through this incident, he could see the emperor's attitude towards him.

After a panic, the Fourth Prince was carried away by the servants.

"You guys go on." The emperor rubbed his forehead tiredly.

"Yes." The second prince Xiao Mubai lowered his eyes and continued his report.

He knew that after the Fourth Prince's trouble, his father's spirit and energy would be greatly reduced.

Not only did his father's energy decrease, but the 800-word report he had prepared also suddenly... disappeared automatically without any warning after he saw the emperor's solemn face!

Disappeared without a trace!

The second prince was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

While the emperor was closing his eyes, he racked his brains and reorganized his words.

In the end, the 800-word report that I had spent several days writing with great effort was shortened to two sentences: "I have basically completed the task assigned to me by my father."

The emperor held his forehead with one hand and waited for a long time, but no sequel came.

He looked up at the second brother in surprise: "No more?"

"Yes." The second prince Xiao Mubai's lips turned pale with nervousness.

He knew that he had not performed well in this round and had lost to the other princes!

However, his mind was blank now and he couldn't remember what those eight hundred words were about!

He had memorized it! He knew it by heart!

It’s all because of the unlucky fourth brother!

If the fourth brother hadn't interrupted, he would have finished his speech smoothly. According to the order, he would be the first!

The second prince hated the fourth prince, Xiao Hua, to death.

But now that things have come to this, what can he do?

The emperor was very displeased with his eldest son's sloppy answer: "Go back and reorganize it and make up a report."

He pointed at the stack of papers in Lord Fang's hand and said, "At least this many pages of content!"

With such meaningless report, who would believe that he completed the task himself?

The emperor had a question mark in his mind about the second prince.

The future successor he had originally favored was the Second Prince. Now, after comparing them, he was not as good as the Fourth Prince!

The fourth one can at least tell you one, two, three, four!

The emperor sighed inwardly. It seems that the fourth child cannot leave!

"Your Majesty, I was ordered to go to Henan to understand the people's sentiments, and I was deeply moved." The third brother stepped forward and began his report.

The third brother vividly recounted his experience in Henan for more than ten days. Because the government was concerned about the people, wherever he went, he heard the people praising the court.

"I have lived there for a few nights and have deeply felt how much the people there love the government!

When I was sitting in the prefect's carriage, I would be stopped by the people at any time, and they would loudly request the prefect to accept the gifts from the people. Some of them gave him a pair of shoes, some gave him a bunch of vegetables, some gave him a chicken, some gave him a basket of eggs... and so on, which were all commonly seen in people's homes.

The county magistrate refused in every way, but the people just wouldn't let him go. Finally, he had to accept it, otherwise he would be stuck on the road and unable to move.

The people also strongly demanded that the prefect remain in office, saying that he was honest and caring about the people, and was a rare good official.

According to the third prince's description, it seems that wherever the prefect went, the people lined the streets to welcome him with great enthusiasm, and they were almost beating drums and gongs.

The emperor gradually became interested, his face flushed with excitement: "Prefect Hong is a talent! His performance in recent years has been good, and the taxes he paid are much higher than before. Although he is not a professional, he has done better than his predecessors. It is true that heroes are not judged by their origins!"

Prefect Hong was initially an official recruited by his family. Later, he was successfully promoted in every evaluation. In this way, he rose all the way from being a small county magistrate's legal advisor to the current prefect.

"The Third Prince has been to the farmers' fields in Henan?" Lord Fang asked with concern.

"No." Xiao Yunfeng pursed his lips, "It's no longer necessary! At first, I wanted to go to the farmers for a field survey, but I was stuck in traffic every time I went out, so I gave up. The waiter at the post station told me that the weather is good this year, and the crops in the whole county are growing well, so I don't have to worry."

Xiao Chenyi suddenly raised his eyes, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

If he remembered correctly, there was a heavy rain in Henan last month, which caused a flood of moderate size.

The news he received was that something had collapsed and the mudslide had covered an entire village.

Just like when he was a kid.
