After rebirth, the scumbag prince only wants to pamper his wife every day

He Qingchen stepped into the hall.

The noisy sounds inside suddenly stopped, and everyone looked straight at him.

He Qingchen looked straight ahead, and walked past the crowd calmly. He walked to the front and bowed to Emperor Zhao Yuan, who was sitting at the top. "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father."

"You're back? It just so happens that there was an earthquake in Junzhou. The memorial submitted by the lower level said that the earthquake was very serious and the victims were displaced. The lower level couldn't take care of it and was asking me for support. You should also listen to it."

Emperor Zhaoyuan glanced at him indifferently and spoke directly.

He Qingchen felt a little depressed.

really!

Is it really an earthquake in Junzhou?

His face remained expressionless, he just lowered his brows and straightened up, slowly walked to the left and stood next to He Chengjue.

He Chengjue glanced at him.

He Qingchen smiled faintly and nodded to him, pretending not to notice his hesitant look as if he wanted to say something.

"Your Majesty, there has been an earthquake in Junzhou and the people have suffered severely. We should not delay any further. We should quickly arrange for people to rush to Junzhou with supplies to provide disaster relief. This is the most important thing. In my opinion, the King of Yan has been training in the southern border for many years and is the most suitable person in any aspect..."

The person who said this was the Minister of Justice, Jiang Wei.

In his opinion, He Qingchen had been through many trials and tribulations in the southern border over the years, so he had thick skin and strong muscles, and was also capable of leading troops. After returning to the capital, he did an excellent job in the several tasks assigned by Emperor Zhao Yuan.

The Junzhou earthquake was indeed dangerous.

If the earthquake was not large in scale and the disaster was not serious, the people below would not be so nervous, and they would not easily ask Your Majesty for people to go for support.

The situation over there is probably much more serious than they know.

There have been frequent water incidents in the southern border these days, and many people have been mobilized.

There are really limited people who can be used in Junzhou's earthquake response. If we just send any colleague there, I'm afraid they won't be able to suppress the victims in Junzhou. We have to find one from the royal family.

After much thought, He Qingchen is indeed the first choice.

Unfortunately, before he finished speaking, He Qingchen did not express his opinion. He Chengjue looked at Emperor Zhao Yuan excitedly and interrupted him hastily: "No."

"Yes, Your Highness Prince Rong, the situation in Junzhou is serious right now. I'm afraid that what is reported from below is not a complete picture. If we don't send someone with more weight to go there, we will definitely not be able to suppress it."

"I also think that the Prince of Yan is the most suitable."

"After returning to the capital, Prince Yan rarely intervened in government affairs.

Without any status or position, if you rashly get involved in these matters, I'm afraid you won't be able to control the people and the common people below.

Besides, since the Prince of Yan returned to the capital, His Royal Highness Prince of Yan has handled every difficult matter in the court at the risk of his life. It has only been a short time since the Gongzhou incident, and I am afraid that the Prince of Yan has not recovered yet."

……

Emperor Zhao Yuan sat at the top, looking indifferently at the noisy crowd below.

They had just had an argument about this.

From how to provide disaster relief, to what kind of food and supplies need to be arranged, to the possible development of the earthquake situation in Junzhou, and finally to who to choose.

All the court officials present were those who stayed behind specially after Emperor Zhaoyuan adjourned the court.

They each have their own ideas and their own positions.

There is never a definitive conclusion.

Emperor Zhaoyuan became upset after hearing this, so he ordered He Qingchen to come back.

I thought that everything would be confirmed after he came back, but unexpectedly, the quarrel broke out again.

Emperor Zhaoyuan's eyes wandered among his sons.

He Qingchen pursed his lips, and just as he was about to turn around and volunteer, he was pulled back by He Chengjue: "Qingchen, don't be impulsive."

"..."

"Prince Rong, Prince Yan, what are you mumbling about?"

Emperor Zhao Yuan wiped his face in annoyance and just happened to see He Qingchen trying to stand up but was held back by He Chengjue.

He narrowed his eyes and said it bluntly.

He Qingchen heard the voice and immediately pushed away He Chengjue's hand: "Father, I want to say that there is an earthquake in Junzhou and it is very dangerous. My brother and several of my brothers have never left the capital and lack experience in disaster relief. I did have some experience in the flood in Jiangnan two years ago. I think it would be better to go to Junzhou so that we can deal with the matter as soon as possible."

The voice had just fallen, but Emperor Zhao Yuan hadn't said anything yet.

One of the ministers hastily retorted: "Since you have never been out of the capital, this time is the best opportunity for you to gain experience. Your Majesty, now that all the princes have already entered the court, it is absolutely unreasonable to let the Prince of Yan take on everything alone.

In my humble opinion, although the earthquake in Junzhou is urgent, it is also an excellent opportunity for tempering. "

He Chengjue was interrupted and looked over with a slightly annoyed look.

The speaker is not someone else.

It was the Minister of Works, Zhao Hongqin.

On the day of his brother's wedding some time ago, he embarrassed the Lin family, directly blocked the Lin family's dowry, delayed his marriage with Lin Churan, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, and even made up a mess of excuses, making the whole capital city laugh at him.

As the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Hongqin also looked unhappy.

For this reason, he kept a low profile for quite some time.

Now that this matter has come to the fore and such words have been spoken, it makes people think more.

Notice.

The Zhao family is Madam Qi’s maternal family.

The Qi family is connected to the Qi family by blood, and they also have a favored daughter and a prince who has already entered the court, namely the Prince of Jin.

He said this, probably to take the credit for King Jin.

He Chengjue never expected that what Zhao Hongqin said would coincide exactly with what he was thinking.

He suppressed the coldness on his face and said respectfully, "Father, years ago, the Prince of Yan went to Gongzhou to suppress bandits. He was injured and poisoned when he returned to Beijing. Now he has not recovered yet and is burdened by trivial matters in the palace. If he rushes to Junzhou now, I am afraid he will fall ill before he arrives. By then, he will be ill and will not be able to devote himself to disaster relief. Being ill is a small matter, but delaying disaster relief is a big deal. Please think twice, Father. The Prince of Yan is really not suitable to run around at this time."

He Chengjue only said half of this sentence.

He only said that He Qingchen was not suitable, but never mentioned who he thought was the right candidate.

This made it difficult for everyone to figure it out.

As usual.

Prince Rong should be actively recommending Prince Yan now, and finding ways to get Prince Yan to take on this job so that he can gain credit, right?

Why don't you fight for it?

Could it be that the Prince of Yan is really in poor health?

That’s not right, right?

Didn’t the King of Yan just volunteer to go to Junzhou to provide disaster relief?

The courtiers were bewildered.

Zhao Hongqin had no idea what He Chengjue was up to.

His gaze shifted between He Chengjue and He Qingchen.

Then he hid his doubts and said sarcastically, "That's right. Your Highness the Prince of Yan is willing to work hard for the people of Junzhou and go to provide disaster relief despite his unhealed body. This is good, but we can't not give other princes a chance to do their part for the people, right?"

This time, He Qingchen was speechless.

He opened his mouth.

Whatever words he wanted to refute, he suppressed them all after seeing the looks on the faces of the court officials and princes.

If he insists on going.

That means taking all the credit and not giving others the opportunity to show their talents.

Doing so would not only offend all the princes and even their maternal families, but would also cause his father to have more bad thoughts.

Although He Chengjue and Zhao Hongqin have the same goal, their positions and situations are different.

now.

Hearing what Zhao Hongqin said, a fierce light flashed in his heart, but he quickly concealed it.

At this moment.

No one said anything.

However, some of the court officials below looked at each other, exchanged glances, and whispered to each other.

"From what Lord Zhao said, this excellent opportunity for tempering is to ask King Jin to go?"

The person who said this touched a minister beside him and motioned him to look at the Prince of Jin, who seemed to be mute and didn't say a word throughout the whole process.

The voice snorted inwardly and responded in a low voice: "He is from the family of the Jin Wang's grandmother, so he naturally hopes that the Jin Wang can take the credit. He didn't even think about whether the Jin Wang could take the credit for this matter."

"Yeah, an earthquake is no small matter. If something happens, he might not even be able to save himself, right?"

Another person quietly joined in.

The sight of several people with their heads down, whispering to each other was really... not a good look.

I don't know.

Prince Jin, who had no expression on his face, guessed what Zhao Hongqin was thinking and was panicking.

He didn't want to go to Junzhou because of the earthquake.

Not only is it dangerous, it's also very far away. It's hard to say what big things might happen in the capital during the trip back and forth.

If anything happens by then, wouldn’t he miss it?

Zhao Hongqin had said so much that Emperor Zhaoyuan had to turn his attention to his other sons.

He frowned and thought slowly about his sons.

Prince Rong is the eldest son.

In a sense, he should be the candidate for crown prince.

If I leave Beijing rashly, those fools who stay behind will probably become restless again.

The Prince of Yan is indeed still injured.

Having this heart is enough.

Prince Rui took leave and did not come.

Even if he came, he would be useless and would not have the brains to provide disaster relief.

King Jin...

Prince Jin is a good candidate.

However, he has always been a lazy person. He would only move when attending court after being urged by his servants. But every time he went to court, his body would be there, but his soul would probably still be asleep in the mansion.

The same is true now.

King Jing broke his leg a few years ago and became disabled. Although he still entered the court, he was not able to go anywhere conveniently.

As for Prince An and Prince Duan?

These two are much younger than their brothers, so it's not impossible to arrange for them to go. However, they haven't experienced anything, and I'm afraid they can't handle such a big thing as disaster relief.

Think about it.

It seems that only Prince Jin is suitable.

When Emperor Zhaoyuan thought of this, his face became even gloomier.

He glanced at the few people who were muttering happily below, and they immediately became quiet like little quails.

Emperor Zhaoyuan snorted coldly, looked at Zhao Hongqin, and asked with cold and unhappy eyes: "Then according to what Zhao Qing said, who should I arrange to go?"

Everyone's eyes followed Emperor Zhao Yuan and fell on Zhao Hongqin.

Zhao Hongqin has his own ideas.

But he couldn't say it directly.

He glanced at He Chengjue calmly.

He Chengjue's heart skipped a beat, and he always felt that Zhao Hongqin was planning something bad.

He Qingchen stood beside He Chengjue without saying a word, watching them act quietly.

Zhao Hongqin thought for a moment and bowed solemnly to Emperor Zhaoyuan: "Your Majesty, according to what I just said, the trip to Junzhou is an excellent opportunity for tempering. But except for the Prince of Yan, who has experience in disaster relief, the other princes do not have it. If we only send one prince, I am afraid that the prince is not experienced enough and has not thought it through. Therefore, I think it would be better to arrange a few more princes to go?"

"Ok?"

"Yes, I think we can arrange for a few more princes to go. His Royal Highness Prince Rong has been involved in politics for a long time, but he has never visited the people, let alone provided disaster relief. This is a great opportunity for him to gain experience.

He and His Royal Highness Prince Yan are from the same mother and are intelligent and wise.

I think that what His Royal Highness Prince Yan can do, His Royal Highness Prince Rong can also do. How about letting His Royal Highness Prince Rong take the other princes with him? Your Majesty, what do you think?"

As soon as Zhao Hongqin finished speaking, the hall became like a calm pool of spring water, which began to ripple as if a stone was suddenly thrown into it.

Everyone suddenly woke up as if from a dream.

Every time before, He Qingchen was standing in front, and they really never considered He Chengjue.

Zhao Hongqin did remind them.

Those who had ulterior motives naturally hoped that Emperor Zhaoyuan would adopt Zhao Hongqin's suggestion and let He Chengjue go to provide disaster relief.

Natural disasters are cruel.

So what if he is the eldest son of the emperor?

If something happened during an earthquake, even if you lost your life, it would be understandable, right?

That's what they think.

I don't know.

He Chengjue thought the same thing when he caused this incident.

Emperor Zhao Yuan stroked the black jade ring with dragon pattern on his left thumb, with a storm of anger in his eyes.

He suppressed his anger calmly, but when he looked at Prince Jin who was standing there like a wooden stake, he became extremely angry.

The atmosphere in the hall was silent.

After a while.

Emperor Zhaoyuan smiled softly: "Does Zhao Qing really think that Prince Rong is suitable?"

"Of course." Zhao Hongqin nodded in response, and then added cautiously: "Your Majesty, since we are going to provide disaster relief and gain experience along the way, we must have someone with a steady and calm temperament to preside over the overall situation. His Royal Highness Prince Rong is your eldest son, and he is the most suitable person both emotionally and logically. Besides, I believe that His Royal Highness Prince Yan will not just watch His Royal Highness Prince Rong work hard and say nothing. His Royal Highness Prince Yan will definitely be willing to teach Prince Rong everything he knows about disaster relief, right?"

"..."

He Qingchen glanced at him coldly and his eyes fell on He Chengjue.

This was something He Chengjue had caused.

In this situation, how could he refuse?

He Qingchen was a little curious.

Emperor Zhao Yuan stared at Zhao Hongqin with his hawk-like eyes and did not speak for a long time.

He didn't say anything, so naturally the others didn't dare to speak either.

I do not know how long it has been.

He Chengjue gritted his teeth, took the initiative to stand up, and pretended to be sincere and said: "Father, I think what Minister Zhao said is not without reason. As your and mother's son, there is no reason for me to shrink back and hide in the capital without going out and doing nothing. What the King of Yan can do, I, as his elder brother, can do, so..."

"Not allowed, Your Highness."

"Royal brother, no."

The people who stood quietly on Prince Rong's team objected one after another.

In order to maintain his character and temporarily maintain the image of a dear younger brother in front of them, He Qingchen pretended to stop them.

Knowing that He Chengjue is retreating to advance at this time is one thing.

If he does nothing.

I'm afraid the Queen Mother and He Chengjue will be more wary of him.

Seeing one objection after another, the others hesitated, not knowing whether to respond.

Emperor Zhaoyuan was about to start a quarrel and said angrily, "Alright... I need to think about who should be assigned to provide disaster relief in Junzhou. If you have nothing else to do, you can all go down."

Everyone looked at each other, but had no choice but to leave.

He Qingchen followed behind the crowd.

He Chengjue glanced at him and wanted to say something to him, but the calm voice of Emperor Zhao Yuan came from behind him: "Prince Yan, please stay first. I have something to ask you."
