She only wants to do infrastructure construction

All in all, Xiao Jiuxi gained a lot of goodwill in Shanhuzhou, and everyone here gave him a thumbs up when he mentioned King Shang.

The Long Xiaoying under his command has become a hero in everyone's mind.

At this time, even Jinglei changed his attitude towards Xiao Jiuxi. Whether it was on the bright side or behind the scenes, Jinglei kept his appearance and sincerely praised Xiao Jiuxi.

Seeing that the situation in the mining area gradually improved, Xiao Zhe's mood became more and more depressed.

Jing Lei, who was still praising Xiao Jiuxi, noticed Xiao Ze's mood and silently stopped talking.

"My lord, you..."

"Oh, father is really biased." Xiao Zhe raised his head and glanced at the sky, with a look of sarcasm in his eyes.

"The Fifth Emperor is indeed helping me, huh, but from another perspective, why am I not making a wedding dress for him here?"

A few simple words conveyed the deepest meaning, and Jinglei gasped as he followed Shanwang's words to think.

It is true that the natural disaster was not arranged by Emperor Wuhou, but the biggest beneficiary of this natural disaster became King Shang, who was not affected by the disaster, and was even recognized by the people of Shanhu Prefecture for his relief.

In the future, if he wins the position of crown prince, why worry about the dissatisfaction of the people in Shanhuzhou?
Although this is just Shanwang's guess, isn't that the case after careful analysis?If Emperor Wuhou intended to give him the crown prince position, he would never have sent Xiao Jiuxi over.

In this peaceful and prosperous age, one heir is enough, if there are too many virtuous kings, it will only sow the seeds of disaster for the future.

"Although I aspired to be a strong man like my father since I was a child, even though I never relaxed for a moment, I still couldn't walk into my father's heart after all." Xiao Zhe curled his lips coldly.

It is precisely because he has seen Emperor Wuhou's intentions that the more Xiao Jiuxi helps these days, the more unhappy he is.

If Long Xiaoying belonged to him, there would be nothing about Xiao Jiuxi here, or if the emperor had him in his heart, there would be nothing about Xiao Jiuxi.

After all, it's just my own wishful thinking, blind efforts and blind dreams.

At this moment, Jing Lei's face also became ugly, and he knelt down swiftly: "My lord, it's my subordinates who have neglected their duties these days."

Thinking of how many times he praised the king these days, how sad his master must be, and his behavior is almost no different from that of a traitor, Jinglei only felt ashamed and uncomfortable.

"What does it have to do with you." Xiao Zhe lifted him up immediately: "Although the father is not optimistic about me, as long as he doesn't make a crown prince for a day, I will still have a chance. After all, I will let him know who is really suitable for that position." just me."

"Yes! Jinglei will always follow the prince, and will never hesitate to die!"

The king of the mountain smiled.

Naturally, Xiao Jiuxi did not know the conversation between the master and the servant.

At this time, he is still digging hard, everything is for returning to Taihe Prefecture as soon as possible!
However, as time went by, the mines with corpses began to have an unpleasant smell of corpses, even if they were far away, they would be dizzy from the smoke.

Digging at this time seems not a wise move.

And even those places where the holes were only blocked, there was a faint smell of corpses.

After inquiring, I found out that there were also seriously injured people who had passed away because they couldn't hold on, and the wounds of the injured people began to rot, and their lives were hanging by a thread.

Xiao Jiuxi frowned, and immediately took back the people who were still digging dead mines.

"From now on, let's focus on rescuing the people in the live mines, and temporarily abandon the dead mines."

After saying that, Xiao Jiuxi strode forward, and when he thought of something, he stopped again: "By the way, you should cover your ears and nose, and drink the plague soup vigorously."

"Don't worry, my lord, we'll save it!" Everyone subconsciously made a worry-free gesture for Xiao Jiuxi.

Only then did Xiao Jiuxi stride towards where Xiao Zhe was.

At that time, Xiao Zhe was still sad to see through Emperor Wuhou's intentions, so Xiao Jiuxi walked in in a hurry.

"Brother Three Emperors!"

Xiao Zhe looked at him with a complicated face, and Jinglei spoke first: "His Royal Highness, the prince is resting, how can you do it yourself?"

"What time do you care about these vain rituals?" Xiao Jiuxi glared at him impatiently, and went straight to Xiao Zhe: "Brother Sanhuang's buried body has begun to rot, and if we continue to dig like this, I'm afraid the plague will kill him." It will spread, so it is better to stop the loss and stop digging in time.”

"Stop digging, what about those buried underground?" Xiao Zhe couldn't help frowning, his face full of disapproval.

"I understand your feelings, but now we really can't dig any further. Our rescue team has at least tens of thousands of people, and their lives are their lives! And if the plague really spreads, it will not only be a matter of tens of thousands of people. , the entire Shanhu State will be dragged into the water."

"Have you seen the plague?" Xiao Zhe's voice couldn't help but get louder.

"No." Xiao Jiuxi was silent: "But according to the current situation and past experience, the plague will happen soon!"

"There were three major earthquakes in Xiashanhuzhou under my rule, two of which were much more tragic than now, but even then I did not give up any of my people, and handed them all back into the hands of my family. During this period, the excavation work lasted for more than a month, even so, there was no plague, but now you, who have never dealt with earthquakes, come to teach me how to do things, do you think I should listen to you?"

"but……"

"Are you the king of Shanhu Prefecture or me?" Xiao Zhe asked with cold eyes.

Xiao Jiuxi glanced at Xiao Zhe and sneered coldly: "I don't know what kind of emotions you are playing. After all, they are your people. If you want to watch them die, that is your business. But my people can't die." Here, we will withdraw after digging the few live mines, and you can figure out the rest."

After Xiao Jiuxi finished speaking, he turned around and went out quickly, without giving Xiao Zhe any face.

Xiao Zhe looked at his back and couldn't help but patted the table.

"stop!"

Xiao Jiuxi stopped slightly when he heard the sound, but still didn't look back.

"Do you think I don't want to accept troops?
yes!Returning them to their families is certainly one reason, but the more important question is, what do you do if you don't dig them out?
Are you thinking of landfilling?

To put it lightly, what will happen to these mines after they are filled in situ?Do you know how much iron ore Shanhuzhou has to turn over every year?If the handover is not enough, these ordinary people can only fill it with their lives!At that time, it will also be dead!What do you think I can do! "

Xiao Jiuxi was taken aback, his father had never put any pressure on him in Taihe State all these years, and even turned a blind eye to his misbehavior, but he didn't know that the third brother in Shanhu State was burdened with such a heavy burden. No wonder he always has a deeply resentful expression.

For a while, Xiao Jiuxi had mixed emotions, but in the end he still pondered: "The decapitation can still be won, but the death in front of us is approaching. Rather than pushing innocent people to die because of an unknown result, it is better to get it first." It's a chance to breathe, and I'll draw it slowly later."
