What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

Chapter 80 I'm Really Old
"It's just wind, cold and fever. It's not an intractable disease. The medicine you gave last time will work. My son has already ordered people to boil the medicine, and each person will have a bowl later."

The old emperor was relieved and found that there were many fewer people than last time, so he asked what was the situation.

"Some of the recovered ones have been sent back to their hometowns in horse-drawn carriages, and some of the old and sick ones have not survived. The son has been buried alive and well. Father, don't worry."

The old emperor looked at the few hungry people, and was really relieved.

Luanjia back to the city.

The old emperor was in a good mood and asked Liu Fu with a smile.

"It's rare to find that my six children are so capable when they grow up."

Liu Fu also laughed: "It's still the emperor and empress who are wise, let the sixth prince follow the second prince to practice, and it didn't take long to see results."

The old emperor's face paled a little.

In fact, he thought that the sixth child was more pleasing to the eye than the second child.

In addition, the sixth son's mother and concubine Bai's temperament is gentle, and she will be affectionate to him until death.

Thinking of that pure and beautiful woman like the snow lotus in Tianshan Mountain, his heart ached.

Back then, he failed her.

The carriage suddenly shook, accompanied by a sharp scream.

The old emperor pulled away from his memories, turned his head and asked what was going on.

Luk Fook hurriedly went out to look, and soon came back to report that it was all right, it was a crazy woman who broke through many obstacles and crashed into the frame of the car.

"Why did the crazy woman hit my frame?" The old emperor frowned.

"So she's a crazy woman," Luk Fook smiled.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the slave has already been dealt with, let's move on"

The old emperor glanced through the curtain of the carriage. It was a crazy woman with sharp eyes, staring straight at the carriage and talking non-stop.

I can't really hear it from a distance, but the mouth shape seems to be... wronged?
"This must be another fierce woman who has been let down."

The old emperor continued to sink into memories.

It was the same with Concubine Bai back then, when she lost her temper because of some inconspicuous things, from then on she saw him as cold.

He ignored her for a moment of boredom, until she was bullied, until she fell ill, until... she died.

In five days, Xie Chenyu sent all the hungry people away, and the outside of the city was cleaned up and returned to normal.

During this period, no more homicide cases occurred, and those who could be cured were treated, and those who were able to walk left.

Before those people left the capital, they knelt down in front of Xie Chenyu like dumpling.

"Master Qingtian, we know you are a good person"

"We don't dare to ask you to tell the truth, but we only ask you to remember those people who died unjustly, and burn incense sticks for them once, so that they will not suffer so much in the next life."

"What nonsense are you talking about, how can this hall have that kind of free time?" Xie Chenyu swayed his feet with grass roots in his mouth.

"Hurry up, don't stay here if you are full of food and drink"

The common people kowtowed, turned their heads three times at a step and walked away, some of them were still reluctant to part with it.

Xie Chenyu turned his head away.

On September [-], Xie Chenke returned to court after recovering from illness.

I don't know what method he used, but he looked haggard, and he lost a lot of weight, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

The courtiers were surprised, and praised the second prince for his ability and hard work, and for putting the people in his heart.

"I heard that the second prince lives outside the city in person, sharing joys and sorrows with the common people"

"There are people who saw the second prince dressed in coarse cloth, holding a long-handled spoon, serving food for the common people, without the airs and dignity of a prince."

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince also pays out of his own pocket to treat people's diseases. It is said that some medicinal materials are not effective. The Second Prince took the initiative to replace better medicinal materials, which is really admirable."

Baiguan talked more and more, and the atmosphere became more and more heated.

The old emperor looked at everything in front of him, his heart sank a little bit, he slowly closed his eyes and opened them again, only then did he bring a smile.

"I have received and read all the brochures from my lovers."

"I'm really old, I can't accept it, and I really should set up a prince to stabilize the army's morale"

"Then follow your wishes and make the second child the crown prince, who will be seated in the East Palace. On the tenth day of next month, the canonization ceremony will be performed, and he will move into the East Palace immediately."

A word of speech is unremarkable.

Unexpected, but also expected.

Xie Chenke kowtowed three times and bowed nine times.

The old emperor closed his eyes and leaned on the dragon chair, as if his soul had been taken away.

He braced himself and sat up again, looking at Xie Chenyu.

"This time, the sixth son also has credit. Last time when he repaired the study room, he said that he would be crowned king. This time, he will be crowned together. He will be named Chu and the land will be the Six Mansions of Jingchu."

The courtiers were amazed, and they looked slightly sideways at this royal nobleman who had always been romantic and unrestrained.

Xie Chenyu was under a lot of pressure and shrugged.

"Father, you treat your son very well. Unfortunately, Jingchu is too far away. My son still wants to stay in the capital. I don't want this fief."

The old emperor laughed straight: "Where is there a prince who is going to fief in this dynasty, you just stay in the capital honestly."

In the past, in order to prevent the princes from competing for the throne, the adult princes would be crowned kings and driven to live in fiefdoms.

Manage your own fief.

Later, the princes of those fiefdoms were occasionally dishonest, and would hoard troops privately, causing turmoil in one side, and gradually they stopped fiefdoms.

Instead, people live in the capital and only accept the food and salary of the fief, and the fief is also handed over to the court for jurisdiction and management.

This can not only demonstrate the mighty grace of the royal family, but also avoid risks to the greatest extent.

The old emperor looked at Xie Chenke.

"From now on, the sixth child will follow you, and you brothers will work together to create a foundation."

Xie Chenke regained his senses and kowtowed again.

"My son will live up to my father's expectations"

The old emperor nodded: "There is nothing else, I am not feeling well, let's retreat first."

After the emperor left, the Jinluan Hall was boiling. Headed by Wang Gelao, civil and military officials surrounded Xie Chenke, and the words of praise were beyond words.

"Is Your Highness in good health? The old minister just got a hundred-year-old ginseng and dare not enjoy it alone, so give it to His Highness to nourish his body."

"His Royal Highness really loves the people like a son, so he must be a generation of Mingjun"

"The emperor is wise, God has eyes, His Highness finally got what he wanted"

Xie Chenke thanked the ministers one by one, and held Wang Ge's hand.

"Thanks to the great support of my grandfather and uncle, and thanks to all my lords, if you do anything wrong in the future, please feel free to criticize me."

Xie Chenke bowed slightly to show respect, his posture was very low.

Wang Ge stroked his beard and said he didn't dare, but he was actually very satisfied.

"From now on, we will be a family. If Your Highness has any orders, just mention them. As long as the veteran can do it, His Highness doesn't have to worry about it."

"Then there is Lao Waizu"

Happy to leave, Xie Chenke went to Jiaofang Palace immediately.

The queen had already got the news, crying and laughing with red eyes.

Seeing Xie Chenke approaching, she stepped forward and hugged him.

"My son, we finally got our wish"

Xie Chenke was really not used to it, he was at a loss with his hands in the air.

"That... Queen Mother, the son is here, and he won't leave casually. Just say what you have to say."

"I want to go to the imperial mausoleum to worship"

Everyone knows that two princes who died young are buried in the imperial mausoleum. The queen goes there every year, but they are always free in the first month of the month.

It's not even October yet.

"Okay, son, let's arrange it now"

Xie Chenke left quickly, the queen stared at his active and diligent back, and was glad to have chosen this prince.

"It turns out that the emperor also likes the second child, I thought the emperor really didn't care about anything"
