Chapter 222: Acquire Xie Yun
In the Tai Chi Palace.
After reading Nuomi's letter, Emperor Huilin said, "What should your opinion be on this matter?"
Lu Chen said: "My son has been in Lin'an for three years, although it is rainy in spring and summer, but I have never seen that the river in front of Baiwei Building is flush with the road.
Erchen felt that he should send people from the DPRK as imperial envoys to supervise the matter, and then send officials such as the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, first to see the dam and embankment, and secondly, if there is a serious flood, the refugees must be resettled.
Many of the people in Baiweilou were separated from their parents when they were young because of a flood and nowhere to go. They should have been prepared earlier. "
Emperor Huilin said, "What about the candidates for the imperial dispatch?"
Lu Chen said, "My son is willing to go with the Crown Princess!"
Emperor Huilin said with a dark face: "No, I will never let you go to that place again!"
Lu Chen thought about it for a while, and said, "It's better to let the minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Minister of Hubu go there. The envoy must have experience in the south of the Yangtze River and are familiar with the waterways and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River. It is most suitable for the son and the princess to go."
"No." Emperor Huilin would not rely on Lu Chen on this matter.
He didn't want to experience the pain from four years ago.
Lu Chen said helplessly: "Father, the lives and safety of the people in the south of the Yangtze River are more important. Lin'an is still upstream, and Yinxian in the downstream has just recovered for a few years. If it is flooded again, the whole city will be displaced again. "
However, Emperor Huilin said: "It's not that there is no one in the court, you still save this heart!"
"Your Majesty, the Empress, the Crown Princess, has brought you wontons by order of the Empress."
Emperor Huilin said, "Let her come in."
When Qiao Jinniang came in, she saw the unsightly faces of both Emperor Huilin and Lu Chen, and put the wontons on Emperor Huilin's bookcase.
Walking to Lu Chen's side, he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Lu Chen said to Emperor Huilin, "Imperial father, my son is going back with the crown prince and concubine. He will definitely protect himself and Jinniang's safety. Besides, Xi'er will stay in Chang'an."
When Qiao Jinniang heard that she went back, it must be Lin'an, she missed it a little, especially at this time, the bayberry on the tree should be red.
And the Baiwei Building in Jiangnan is still closed, she actually has a lot of things to do in Lin'an.
But Emperor Huilin said: "You don't have to think about this matter, you two step back!"
Qiao Jinniang left the Taiji Palace and asked Lu Chen, "Why didn't the royal father agree to your return to Lin'an?"
Lu Chen was helpless, "It should be because I was afraid that I would disappear in Lin'an again."
Qiao Jinniang sighed, "I thought I could really go back and eat bayberry, but it's raining a lot in Lin'an this year, so presumably bayberry isn't necessarily delicious, so it's better not to eat it."
Lu Chen said: "But the flood situation in Jiangnan can't be delayed. Do you think about letting Qiao Lu go to Lin'an to experience it? I was the same person at the time that he went to the disaster area at this age. I saw things that Chang'an couldn't see. I also have some experience with him. benefit."
Qiao Jinniang nodded and said, "But I think he can't do it alone. I can let him see and see. I have a good candidate, Xie Yun!"
Xie Yun's family is in Jiangnan. If Jiangnan encounters a flood this time, the Xie family will suffer a lot. He knows Jiangnan again...
But when Lu Chen just returned to the East Palace, the dark guard came to report: "His Royal Highness, after you left, His Royal Highness Prince Huai took Princess Huai to greet His Majesty, and then volunteered to go to Jiangnan to eliminate the flood situation and go to disaster relief."
Lu Chen asked, "Your father agreed?"
The dark guard nodded lightly: "Yes!"
Qiao Jinniang persuaded Lu Chen, "It's not good for disaster relief, it's tiring and dirty. I don't want to be separated from Xi'er yet."
Lu Chen was more curious about his eldest brother, who had always been forbearing. How could he be willing to volunteer to go to Jiangnan to investigate the flood and disaster relief this time?
This is a thankless job. Lu Chen's desire to go is not for the sake of the common people, but mainly because Qiao Jinniang and him still have a lot of unfinished business in Jiangnan.
Moreover, at this time, bayberry is the time to mature.
Although King Huai didn't know what was good about investigating the flood situation and disaster relief, but after hearing from his father that Lu Chen wanted to go, he would grab it. Moreover, if the flood situation was properly investigated, what he would gain would be the hearts of the people in the south of the Yangtze River.
There are many literati in Jiangnan, which is equivalent to winning the hearts of literati. As it happens, he can also take the opportunity to go to Jiangnan and help Xie Erlang seize the power of the Xie family.
...
In the afternoon, Lu Chen reviewed the memorials in the study, and Qiao Jinniang counted the silver taels by his side. She had a lot of business in Lin'an, and some of her subordinates were also in Jiangnan.
She also has to settle them well, and she is even more afraid of the refugees who will **** the property.
She had to write a letter in advance to make arrangements, and the silver taels to be given could not be less.
"His Royal Highness, Miss Xie Yun is here."
When Xie Yun entered, he saw Qiao Jinniang, who was beside Lu Chen's desk, thinking about abacus. She was still dressed in bright colors, but she added some extravagance of a royal woman, and finally had something different from the little sister he remembered. little difference.
The little girl who always loved to see him when she gave him cakes was like a lifetime away.
Seeing Xie Yun's eyes, Lu Chen said coldly, "If you look at it again, I will dig out your eyes!"
Xie Yun retracted his eyes and saluted Lu Chen: "King Huai and Xie Erlang went back to Jiangnan to deal with the flood situation, has your Highness heard of it?"
When Qiao Jinniang saw that Xie Yun and Lu Chen should be discussing a major matter, she put down the abacus and the ledger and said, "I'll pick up Xi'er first, and you can talk slowly."
After Qiao Jinniang left, Lu Chen warned Xie Yun: "If you dare to look at the Crown Princess like this again, you will definitely goug out your eyes."
Xie Yun said: "I treat Jin'er as a younger sister."
How could Lu Chen believe Xie Yun's words? He was also a man, and he could see Xie Yun's thoughts clearly.
Xie Yun said: "If I really want Jinniang, then it will be impossible for His Highness to marry her. Since I did not stop her before she gets married, I will not disturb her life again, unless His Highness cannot treat her kindly. she."
Xie Yun said it very sincerely, just because she didn't want Lu Chen to misunderstand Qiao Jinniang, "She doesn't know my mind."
Lu Chen saw Xie Yun's intentions when he was in Jiangnan, and after hearing what he said, he said, "How could I not treat her well?"
Xie Yun said: "King Huai and Xie Erlang have reached a cooperation, what do your Highness think?"
Lu Chen handed Xie Yun a cup of tea and said, "Gu can also cooperate with you, but Gu wants the Xie family's ancestral collection of books."
The Xie family's status in the literati world has endured for a long time, because the Xie family has a collection of books that have been handed down for thousands of years, and there are only ancient books. Lu Chen saw them when he was in Lin'an, and many books are not passed on.
Xie Yun frowned and said, "This is impossible."
Lu Chen said, "Then King Huai is willing to marry even Miss Zhou Sisi and the Fourth Miss Qin, so it's not difficult to marry you. What are two Princess Huai, wouldn't it be better to have three Princess Huai?"
Xie Yun said calmly, "Lu Chen, I can help you a lot when you are in Lin'an."
"Everyone gets what they need." Lu Chen said, "You also taught me that businessmen never do business at a loss. Now that the imperial power has become more powerful, it is still the general trend. Your Xie family is strong, how many days can you last?
It is better to give the Xie family's book collection to the people of the world and get a good name, and Xie brother's talent and ability can also be regarded as a high-ranking official. "
