Lord Prime Minister

Chapter 26

The emperor's decree arrived at night, and Prince Minqing, who was assigned to save the people from the fire and water, was pulling Mu Zihuai to let him recite another long poem.

Mu Zihuai was a little impatient, he didn't know when the prince developed a bad habit, but he just liked to listen to him recite poems.Once Mu Zihuai asked the prince when he was in a good mood, and the prince's answer was that in the competition to show off his expertise three years ago, the poems recited by Mu Zihuai completely conquered him, so that he would not listen to Mu Zihuai's poems. can't sleep.

For this, Mu Zihuai wanted to give himself a hard blow, but then he realized that this was not the case. This bad habit of listening to poetry before falling asleep was clearly the result of his daily afternoon nap and came to the small pavilion in the yard to eavesdrop on him telling the dragon. Lei taught to develop.Mu Zihuai said that this had nothing to do with him, why did he suffer in the end?

He is clearly a high and mighty prince, but at this moment he is clinging to him not to let him go, and there is a Kong Qing staring at him in the room, wishing to tear him apart.

Just when he couldn't stand the entanglement and was about to recite the poems he had memorized for three years, the eunuch's shrill voice sounded outside the door.

"The imperial decree has arrived, Lord Minqing accepts the decree."

finally reached.

Huangfu Yunhua thought to himself, and asked Mu Zihuai to recite the poem again before getting up slowly after being rejected again. After tidying up his clothes and hat, he slowly opened the door and walked out, looking extremely reluctant.

"The minister accepts the order."

Mu Zihuai and Kong Qing also followed, kneeling behind Huangfu Yunhua.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said, the south has experienced a century-old drought, the people have no means of living, and countless people have died of starvation. The local officials have been dismissed because they are not good at handling affairs. King Minqing is specially ordered to lead five new officials to deal with the disaster. They will set off on a date without delay. This is yours."

"The minister accepts the order."

Huangfu Yunhua stood up and took over the imperial decree, with deep dissatisfaction on his face. "Eunuch Li, there is no grass in that kind of place, what can I do?"

Eunuch Li, who was always by Emperor Guangcheng's side, only smiled respectfully when facing Huangfu Yunhua's dissatisfied behavior. "This is the meaning of the emperor, how dare the villain speculate easily. The prince should prepare to set off as soon as possible. It is hard over there, bring more dry food and water. The villain will not stay any longer, and he has to return to the palace to revise the order."

Huangfu Yunhua curled his lips indifferently, waved his hands, and didn't ask anyone to see him off until he said, "Ask Father for this king, I might bring a few attendants with me on this trip."

"Yes, the villain knows."

Eunuch Li shook his whisk and left the palace with a young eunuch.

The two entered the east gate of the palace all the way in the carriage, sent the young eunuch down to do something, and Eunuch Li went up to the Panlong Hall where the emperor lived alone.

Emperor Guangcheng, who was over half a century old, was wearing a yellow robe and was reviewing memorials by candlelight.

"Your Majesty, the villain is back." Eunuch Li stepped forward to light the candle, and replied in a low voice.

"Did you deliver the imperial decree in person?" He picked up a cinnabar pen to approve the words on a memorial, put it together and threw it on the table.

"It's delivered. The prince happens to be in the mansion, so I personally delivered it to him."

"What did he say?" Picking up a memorial again, Emperor Guangcheng asked again.

"My lord has a troublesome temper. Naturally, I'm a little reluctant to go to that poor place, but I'm still willing to go." Eunuch Li bent down and replied softly.

"Arguing?"

"No, I just asked, can I bring a few followers over there?"

Emperor Guangcheng read the petition on the memorial, frowned, drew a slash, and threw it on another stack of memorials.

"That's right."

A few days later, in the middle of the night, the second prince quietly visited Minqing Palace.

King Minqing went out to greet him personally, and the two entered the study and closed the door. No one knew what they were talking about. It was not until the next morning that the second prince quietly left in a carriage.

Two days later, the preparations for the team to deal with the severe drought in the lower reaches of the Ninghe River were completed, and they set off early the next day.

Mu Zihuai was wearing a thin light blue gown. The hot summer morning was a little stuffy, and a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on his back, which made him feel a little irritable.

"Practice your handwriting well at home, don't go out to play all the time. If you put half of your martial arts practice on memorizing, will you not be able to memorize all the poems like you are now?"

Long Lei was still holding the collection of poems that Mu Zihuaisai gave him to recite before going out, and the sadness of separation was broken up by his words.

"Don't I know how to recite a poem? It's noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat drips down to the soil. Grain...in the plate...hey, it's almost enough to memorize so much."

Mu Zihuai was so angry that he gritted his teeth, wishing to open his head and take a closer look at the structure inside.Simply out of sight and out of sight, look at another piece of wood that has been sticking to the side.

"I'll be a soldier when you leave."

Mu Zihuai opened his mouth, he was worried about them, but the two brothers didn't appreciate it.

"During this period of time, hurry up and fill up the meat, and you will be knocked down with a slap on the battlefield like a thin monkey."

Long Xiu finally nodded.

"Don't rush to the battlefield, first familiarize yourself with the discipline of the army."

"I know."

Mu Zihuai scratched his head, prepared a basket of words a few days ago, but he couldn't think of anything when he was leaving.After standing dryly for a while, Mu Zihuai sighed and turned to leave.

"When are you coming back?" Seeing Mu Zihuai turn around, Long Xiu suddenly asked.

"Well... maybe a year or two, not soon." Mu Zihuai smiled wryly, why did he keep doing things like this.

Long Xiu pursed his lips and licked his dry lips. "Tell me, with so many people, why did the prince choose you..."

A sigh sounded, and Mu Zihuai shook his head. "Who knows."

"Zihuai, let's go." Ren Danfeng, who was ordered to go with him, shouted in this direction, and got into the carriage.

"Here we come." Mu Zihuai also yelled back, turned to Long Xiu and said, "I'm leaving, take good care of Long Lei."

Long Xiu nodded.

Mu Zihuai took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards the carriage.

"Mu Zihuai!"

Suddenly there was a voice behind him, and Mu Zihuai turned his head fiercely, only to find that it was Long Xiu who called him.

"Be careful and come back early."

Mu Zihuai was stunned for a while, then smiled. "Understood." Immediately, he remembered something again, his face turned dark.

"Told you to call me brother!"

Mu Zihuai quickened his pace after shouting this voice, and Long Xiu's low-pitched laughter came from behind him.

As soon as he opened the curtain and sat down, the prince's voice sounded.

"Mr. Mu seems very happy to go out this time."

Mu Zihuai was taken aback by the sound, he even forgot to travel frugally for this disaster relief, the whole team only had three carriages, and the other two carriages were filled with the newly appointed officials, the two of them could only Take the same car with the prince.

The carriage was a bit small, and Ren Danfeng was the tallest among the three of them. Once sitting there, his majestic body took up most of the space, and Mu Zihuai, who was in the back, had to squeeze together with the prince.

The prince's slightly hot body temperature was clearly transmitted through the thin shirt, and Mu Zihuai sat upright, trying to stay away from the prince. "The villain is naturally happy to be able to travel with the prince."

Huangfu Yunhua nodded seriously. "This king has guessed that you will like it a long time ago, so I specifically asked my father to take you with me."

Mu Zihuai: ...This broken mouth.

"My lord, my lord."

While it was quiet, a clear voice came from outside the carriage. "Is your lord leaving now?"

Huangfu Yunhua smiled slightly, raised his hand to lift the curtain on the window, and said to Kong Qing who was looking sad outside the window: "Kong Qing, you are still in the mansion, this trip must be very difficult, you should stay, and you don't have to follow Suffered."

Kong Qing bit her lip, she was still sweating in the lightest gown, he knew that the situation in the drought-stricken area must be a hundred times worse than here, but even so, he still followed the prince.

As long as the prince agrees, he will definitely follow.

But......

Seeing the people in the carriage, Kong Qing couldn't help gritting his teeth, of the three of them, the prince just left him.

"My lord is good for me, Kong Qing knows. Kong Qing only hopes that my lord will have a safe trip and come back soon."

Huangfu Yunhua raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a gentle smile. "Okay, let's take advantage of Kong Qing's auspicious words, have a safe journey and return to Beijing as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, Kong Qing opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the curtain of the carriage had been lowered, so he could only swallow the words in his stomach, frowning and looking at the team that was ready to go.

"Set off."

The guards in front of the team shouted an order, and the carriage moved slowly.

The rising sun has just risen from the ground level, illuminating the departing team, and it is unknown when they will return.

Whether it was Long Xiu Long Lei, Kong Qing, or the housekeeper who took care of the palace, they all had the same thoughts in their hearts at this moment.

Before leaving, I already miss you.

The atmosphere in the distant carriage was harmonious.

"Oh, Danfeng also brought the treasure bestowed by the king?"

"Yes, Danfeng couldn't put it down, and still couldn't help but bring it here to play with."

"What about Mr. Mu? Have you ever brought the treasure that this king bestowed on you?"

"..."

Bring peat!
