City of King Yu.
royal palace.
"Your Majesty, this year's spring plowing is about to begin. Who do you plan to let take charge?"
"Where is King Qi Lin now?"
"Return to Your Majesty!" Lin Qiushi slightly cupped his hands and said softly: "His Third Highness has been presiding over the case of Prince Huai's rebellion these past two days. It seems that he already has some clues?"
"Um!"
"In that case, let him handle the spring plowing as well!"
"The popularization of the curved shaft plow and the promotion of potatoes and sweet potatoes are fully coordinated by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry."
"His Majesty……"
Shen Li, who had not spoken until now, suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Spring plowing matters are related to the country. The third prince is young after all. The old minister suggested that an old minister be sent to assist the third prince."
Emperor Yu pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "Yes!"
"In that case, do you have a suitable candidate?"
"this……"
Suddenly, all the important ministers were in trouble. Shen Li was about to speak when he saw a young eunuch outside the palace suddenly walked in with eager steps.
"Start your Majesty."
"His Royal Highness King Yong sent someone to deliver a volume of official documents!"
"oh?"
Emperor Yu couldn't help but look stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face: "The second brother must have been in charge of Huainan now, but I don't know if he can suppress all the local snakes."
"Send it up!"
"yes!"
The young eunuch presented the official document that Ning Fan had sent urgently to Emperor Yu. The latter opened the folder and said, "This kid is so formal. Could he be asking for money?"
"The Second Highness has just arrived in Huainan and is in charge of sixteen prefectures and counties. It is natural that he is short of people and money."
"Yes, although King Huai's rebellion is mild, Huainan has been managed by King Huai for more than twenty years."
"Even if His Highness has all the means available, I'm afraid he still can't do it!"
Chen Qinghe, the Minister of Household Affairs who was close to Ning Fan, and Ji Sui, the Minister of the Ministry of War, both spoke for Ning Fan.
Emperor Yu smiled and unfolded the fold in his hand. He couldn't help but look stunned, and then laughed and said: "Hahaha, this kid, not only did not ask for money or people, but actually sent talents to me."
"oh?"
When several important ministers heard this, they all looked stunned.
But gradually, Emperor Yu's expression gradually became solemn, and he said softly: "To be praised like this by the second brother, this person is not simple!"
"Your Majesty, who would you recommend?"
"What's your comment?"
Lin Qiushi's eyes sparkled, and he slightly cupped his hands and asked.
"Haha, you will know it when you see me."
Emperor Yu gave up and looked at Shen Li and said: "Prime Minister Shen, you just said that one person is needed to assist in spring plowing. If that's the case, let it be Wei Zheng!"
"Wei Zheng?"
Shen Li's face was full of doubts. He didn't know who Wei Zheng was in His Majesty's mouth. He asked doubtfully: "Could it be the person recommended by His Majesty?"
"Exactly!"
"Your Majesty, what is the position of this person now and where is he?"
"Well... Yijie in white is on his way to Beijing now."
"His Majesty!"
Lin Qiushi's complexion changed slightly, and he bowed and said: "As the Right Prime Minister said, spring plowing is related to the foundation of the country. How can we let a man in white act as the minister of the DPRK?"
"Isn't there also King Qi Lin?"
"Can……"
Lin Qiushi was about to speak when Shen Li on the side smiled and said: "Prime Minister Lin, since he is the person recommended by His Highness, he must have some real abilities."
"After all, His Highness is famous for his ability to recognize people!"
"Prince Yong's Mansion has many talents, such as Kong Ming and Chen Gong. Among the generals, Yue Fei and Ran Min are now the backbone of the army."
"You might as well give it a try!"
When Shen Li said this, Lin Qiushi had no choice but to smile bitterly. Although he had greater power than Shen Li, who was the latter?
He once served as the emperor's tutor and the late emperor's tutor. Although he later resigned from office, his reputation is like an unshakable mountain in the hearts of the world's scholars and civil and military officials.
Therefore, Lin Qiushi did not need to refute this person's face.
"Well, when Wei Zheng arrives in Beijing, order him to come see me!"
"According to the order!"
After the young eunuch left, Emperor Yu received the news from Ning Fan and seemed to be in a good mood. However, when he thought of his assassination when he left the capital, his expression instantly darkened.
"Has anything been found out about the assassination of King Yong?"
"His Majesty!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire hall became depressing. Lin Qiushi said in a deep voice: "This matter will be investigated in detail by Jin Yiwei and Dali Temple. The person behind the scenes has not yet been found."
"snort!"
Emperor Yu snorted angrily and said gloomily: "These are some shameful means. This matter must not be left undisturbed."
"Tell Jiang Wei that he will submit a complete memorial to me within seven days."
"According to the order!"
After the ministers left the palace, Emperor Yu sat on the dragon chair, pondered for a long time, and said softly: "Jiannan?"
"His Majesty!"
"Is there any recent news about King Yong?"
"This... yes, there is..."
"how?"
"Did this kid wield a butcher's knife again in Huainan?"
"That's not true."
An ugly smile appeared on Jiannan's stern face, and he said hesitantly: "Your Highness seems to have married into the Cai family of Huainan."
"What did you say?"
"Bring-in-law?"
Emperor Yu's expression suddenly became very exciting. He stood up suddenly and stared at Jian Nan, his expression as if on the eve of a storm.
"what is going on?"
"Back to Your Majesty, after His Majesty arrived in Huainan, he happened to meet the Cai family..."
Jiannan recounted what happened to Ning Fan in Huainan. Emperor Yu was breathing heavily, and veins that had not appeared in many days were exposed on his forehead.
"Rebellious son!"
"This treacherous son...has simply disgraced my royal dignity!"
"After a hundred years, how can I have the face to meet my ancestors?"
Emperor Yu slapped the dragon case hard and stared at Jiannan coldly: "Continue, what happened next?"
"Later...His Royal Highness King Yong drank and had fun in...the land of fireworks every day."
"Either it's just wandering around and having fun, leaving all the political affairs in Huainan to Guo Jia and Chen Gong."
"snort!"
Emperor Yu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "From now on, every move of King Yong in Huainan will be reported to me, one report every day, so that your people do not need to cover up and monitor him openly."
"I want to see what this guy is selling!"
"yes!"
…
Huainan.
Lingzhou City.
In the past few days, with the news coming from the capital region, the people of Huainan all knew that the land of the Sixteen Prefectures was granted to King Yong, and the entire Huainan was under his jurisdiction.
For a while, this matter also became a topic of conversation among the people in Lingzhou City before tea and after dinner.
"The land of the sixteen states in Huainan was actually entrusted to His Highness King Yong?"
"King Yong?"
"The one who defeated King Huai in one fell swoop?"
"I heard that this man annihilated hundreds of thousands of Da Yan's troops in the Western Region in one fell swoop!"
People gathered in small groups and discussed the rumors about King Yong's deeds.
"Alas, speaking of the battle in the Western Region, I didn't expect His Highness Prince Sheng to die in the battle."
"He is the eldest son of the dynasty!"
"What a shame."
Talk in the street, that sort of thing.
