On December 3rd, the fifth year of Dalong Taiping, Liu Chengqian and his second brother handed over the government affairs in the Ten Kings Palace, and then officially prepared to leave for Lizhou to supervise the handling of the snow disaster.
In the inner courtyard of Liu Mansion, Liu Chengqian, who had already packed his travel bags, was saying goodbye to his family.
The third princess, Li Yan, held her little daughter Liu Yirou, who was just over two years old, in her arms. She looked at her son Liu Chengqian with worry in her eyes.
"Qian'er, although Lizhou is only a few hundred miles away from the capital, since there is a snowstorm there, it means that the situation there is not very good.
After you arrive in Lizhou, you must take good care of your health. If you encounter trouble, you must think twice before acting impulsively.
Especially on the way to Lizhou, it's freezing outside and the wind is howling. You must wear more clothes on the way to avoid catching the wind cold.
You should also try to be on time when eating. If you miss three meals, it will easily hurt your stomach.
Also, after arriving in Lizhou, if the weather clears up, I must send a letter from the golden eagle to say that I am safe, so that my mother can feel at ease. "
Liu Chengqian listened quietly to his mother's worries, without showing any sign of impatience.
His mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles away, so he can naturally understand her mother's current mood. of
And after having that conversation with his father, he finally understood how much his mother loved him.
Seeing my mother chattering endlessly as if she couldn't finish her worried words, I felt extremely warm in my heart.
The love for the baby is deep, this is the love the mother has for her.
Seeing that her mother had finally finished explaining everything she had thought of, Liu Chengqian looked at her mother, then at her little sister Liu Yirou who was looking curiously at her babbling, and nodded heavily.
"Mother, I am only going to Lizhou to supervise Lizhou officials to deal with the snow disaster. I am not going to fight on the battlefield. I will not encounter any danger.
Don't worry, after the child arrives in Lizhou, as long as the weather permits, the child will immediately send a letter to Dad, you and the aunts to report that he is safe. "
The third princess stretched out her white and tender hands and caressed her son's cheek for a moment, then nodded reluctantly.
"No matter what you do, be careful. Mom, your dad, your aunts, and all your brothers and sisters are waiting for you to come back.
My child, mother is waiting for you to come back, take care of yourself. "
"Thank you, mother. The child will definitely keep your mother's teachings in mind. Mother, you should also take care of your body."
"Hey, mother knows."
The third princess tapped the phoenix's head lightly, and looked at Young Master Liu who was sitting at the front with moist eyes.
"Husband, I have finished explaining my identity."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and nodded, put down his tea cup, walked to the third princess, and reached out to take his daughter Liu Yirou, who was wearing a heavy brocade jacket.
The little girl's restless little hands curiously stroked her father's beard, laughing non-stop.
"Gotta go! Gotta go!"
"It's daddy!"
"You deserve to die."
Young Master Liu looked at the smiling little cotton-padded jacket in his arms with a dark look, then turned to look around at all the beauties in the hall.
"It's almost time. Let's go out and see the children off. Don't delay and hurry up."
The girls immediately stood up and gathered around Young Master Liu: "Husband, let's go."
Young Master Liu nodded slightly, wrapped the little cotton-padded jacket twisting in his arms with his big cloak and walked out of the hall door first, heading straight for the gate of Liu Mansion.
"Chengqian."
"father?"
"After arriving in Lizhou with the guards, don't be in a hurry to reveal your identity. Go to the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Lizhou to conduct private visits in private.
I want to see with my own eyes what the snow disaster in Lizhou is like, and more importantly, I need to visit the homes of people affected by the disaster.
Find out the specific situation of the snow disaster from their mouths, and then ask the people in a vague way how the local government handles the snow disaster.
Whether local officials are good or bad is not up to them, nor is it up to their fathers to decide whether they are good or bad. The people under their rule have to make their own comments.
In addition, no matter what situation you encounter, just remember these eight words. "
"Huh? Please give me some advice."
"Assess the situation and act according to the opportunity."
"Assess the situation and act according to the opportunity?"
Liu Chengqian softly repeated the eight words his father said, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Okay, don't think about it now, just think about it on the road."
"Yes, I have remembered it. I will think about these eight words carefully on the way to Lizhou."
"Also, when you go to Lizhou, you are the imperial minister supervising the management of snow disasters. Try not to reveal your identity as a prince until necessary, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble and danger.
Low-key life, high-profile work.
As a father, I hope you can handle the matter in Lizhou as soon as possible and return home safely as soon as possible. "
"My child understands. After arriving in Lizhou, my child will definitely go all out to supervise this matter."
Young Master Liu smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Liu Song who was following him and nodded.
"Willow Pine."
"Yes, Master."
Liu Song responded immediately and handed a volume of imperial edict and a seal box in front of Liu Chengqian.
"Young Master Chengqian, this is the imperial edict and imperial seal of the young master appointing you as the Imperial Envoy. Please keep it."
"Hey, Uncle Laosong is here."
"Don't dare! Don't dare! It's a small matter."
While the group was chatting, they finally arrived at the gate of Liu Mansion.
Liu Chengqian embraced the imperial edict and the imperial seal, and bowed to Young Master Liu and many elders.
"Father, mother, aunts and uncles, please stay here. I will go to meet the guards first. Farewell, my child."
"Go ahead and take care on the road."
"Yes, farewell, my child."
After Liu Chengqian stood up, he quickly boarded the carriage that had been waiting for a long time, and finally waved to Young Master Liu and the others.
"Let's set off."
"drive."
Looking at the carriage that was crushing the snow and getting further away, Young Master Liu exhaled a sigh of relief silently.
The eldest son was sent on a mission thousands of miles away and has yet to return for reunion, and the third son was sent out just before the New Year. As a father, he is really cruel!
When the carriage completely disappeared at the corner of the street and was no longer seen, Young Master Liu turned around and walked into the mansion with his daughter Liu Yirou in his arms with a wry smile.
Seeing this, all the beauties also closed their eyes, and all of them followed their husband back to the house in bad mood.
Seven days after Liu Chengqian rushed to Lizhou, December 10th, the fifth year of Dalong Shengping's fifth year, arrived in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Liu Chengzhi and his wife Li Jingyao served tea to Young Master Liu and their elders, and then moved into the East Palace together.
A few days after Liu Chengzhi and his wife moved into the East Palace, the few remaining fantasies in Baiguan's heart were finally shattered.
Because His Majesty really has no intention of appointing His Highness the Second Prince as the Crown Prince, allowing the Second Prince and his wife to live in the East Palace is really just living in the East Palace.
Five days after Liu Chengzhi and his wife moved into the East Palace, it was December 15, the fifth year of Taiping, when the court began to rest.
"I wish all my ministers and ministers a happy New Year in advance."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I also wish your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, a prosperous New Year and may you live forever."
"Retire from the court and take a rest."
"I respectfully send you your Majesty's greetings. Long live, long live."
Young Master Liu collected the last memorial document in the hands of the civil and military officials, and wished some good wishes for the New Year in advance. After giving the order, all the officials congratulated and left.
The imperial court's period of rest has officially begun.
The imperial court has begun to rest, which also means that Dalong's five years of peace are coming to an end.
"Husband, you are back."
"Yes, Yun'er, go and inform Sister Ya, Lian'er and all of them will come."
"Ah? What happened?"
"Get ready to go back to Jiangnan to celebrate the New Year."
