She only wants to do infrastructure construction

Chapter 267

While Xiao Jiuxi and Xiao Zhe were maintaining their relationship, the old butler also silently embarked on the road to the palace.

Ever since he was assigned to King Shang, the old steward had not set foot in the palace for many years.

Early in the morning, after receiving a secret letter from the palace, His Majesty called him into the palace, and the old housekeeper went out calmly.

He thought back a lot on this journey, especially the years when he brought the King of Cups. To be honest, it was his happiest day. Although the master is naughty, he is also smart and cute. The most important thing is that he has a pure heart and knows how to care for others. He cared, and his cold heart was warmed.

The old butler had spent half his life fighting in the palace, and he had already become hard-hearted.

It was the master who warmed his heart a little bit.

The old butler was a little funny when he thought about it, he was just going to meet the saint, not to die, so why was he recalling his life here.

Thinking of this, the only worry on the old housekeeper's face disappeared.

When he walked into the familiar palace again, he felt that this place was so familiar, but obviously everything here had changed.

At least there were no such golden nanmu screens in the saint's palace before.

After he came in, the strange father-in-law did not stop him, and the old butler entered the inner room smoothly.

The inner room has not changed from before, the bed curtains and bedding here, and even the old sandalwood table are still the same as before.

Sitting by the desk was a thin man with his back facing the old butler, with gray hair and a thin back.

The old butler couldn't believe it, and walked over tremblingly. When the man turned around slowly, revealing an old and haggard face, the old butler burst into tears.

"Saint...how do you..."

He started to follow the saint at the age of 20, and witnessed the age of the saint from 14 to 40, when he was at his most prosperous and brave.

In his heart, saints are always brave, indestructible, and unstoppable heroes of the generation. Why did they become like this now?

Emperor Wuhou showed a helpless wry smile: "Do you also think I am in a mess now?"

"Saint..." The old housekeeper knelt forward and grabbed his hand: "Saint, you have suffered."

"I look much older than you now." Emperor Wuhou smiled helplessly.

The old housekeeper burst into tears: "Who is it, who is it..."

"It doesn't matter who it is, I will definitely find him in my lifetime, and even if I don't have time, my descendants will definitely skin him, cramp his bones and throw him into ashes."

Emperor Wuhou spoke coldly.

The old butler nodded repeatedly, wishing he could tear him up for his masters now.

Emperor Wuhou sighed: "I'm not announcing you today to make you complain for me, I want to know about that idiot Jie Huzhi."

The old butler was taken aback for a moment, then nodded piously: "As long as the saint wants to know, the servant will know everything."

Emperor Wuhou nodded: "I have read the year-end petition of the prefect of Taihe Prefecture, and you and I should tell the truth about Taihe's recent situation."

The old housekeeper bowed his hands: "Returning to the sage, although I don't know the content of the governor's year-end petition, I can tell you a little bit about the situation in Taihe Prefecture that I know."

So the old housekeeper began to talk about the situation in Taihe Prefecture in detail, from farming and mulberry farming to breeding, from markets to medical centers and schools, from renovations to urban construction to wharf repairs...

Emperor Wuhou had forgotten his sadness, and only surprise remained on his face.

"You... what you said is the truth?"

"Yes, if the sage doesn't believe it, you can ask Eunuch Qian, or Eunuch Xiao Hai who has just been to Taihe Prefecture not long ago."

Eunuch Qian was ordered and walked out respectfully.

"What Eunuch Neng said is true, at least what the old slave saw the last time he visited Taihe Prefecture was exactly the same as what Eunuch Neng said."

Emperor Wuhou nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that my vision is not wrong, Shangzhi is indeed the child with the most potential."

The old butler was hesitant to say anything, wanting to say that these are the concubine's credit, but also wanting to say that the master has no intention of taking the throne, but his intuition told him that the sage would not be happy if he said this to the sage at this time.

Just when the old housekeeper was struggling, Emperor Wuhou spoke lightly again.

"What kind of person is the side princess?"

The old butler suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with astonishment.

"You don't have to hide it from me, just say what you have to say." Emperor Wuhou closed his eyes and said calmly.

The old butler bowed his hands and answered earnestly: "Princess Side is a virtuous, wise, knowledgeable, talented, and close to the people. She can not lose to any noble woman or even a man in the world. More importantly, Concubine Side can urge the master to infect the master and become better and better." .In the mind of this old slave, there is nothing wrong with the concubine side."

"But she is Li Deqing's granddaughter." Emperor Wuhou said lightly.

The old butler was taken aback, then sighed imperceptibly: "Yes."

"I personally dismissed her grandfather's position, cut off her father's official career, and choked off the wealth of the Li family. Based on this, she can still be sincere to my Xiao family? I don't believe it."

"Saints...not so."

The old housekeeper was still waiting to explain, but Emperor Wuhou stopped him: "Even if she has no second thoughts, can such a background be able to bear the heavy responsibility of the princess, and even the mother's family? How will she lead the six palaces and persuade the people of the world? "

"The King of Keshang..."

"It's not his turn to decide who will take this position. This bastard is not clear-headed, so are you also not clear-headed?"

The old housekeeper bent down and knelt silently without saying a word.

"Don't you think there's something wrong with their meeting? That kid was drugged with acacia and met Li Yewu by such a coincidence. You said there was no evil behind it?"

The old butler frowned and was worried.

He could understand the saint's mood, he wanted King Shang to inherit the Datong, and at the same time he didn't want Li Yewu to be a stumbling block to King Shang, so he tried every means to get rid of Li Yewu with the most official reason.

However, no matter whether it is for the sake of the young son, the master or the people of Taihe Prefecture, he cannot remain silent.

The old housekeeper resolutely kowtowed: "Saint, this servant dares to vouch for the side princess. Her appearance is really just accidental. Besides, she is loyal to King Shang and has no second thoughts about Da Chu. Don't lie to the saint, Taihe The bandits and even the secret agents in the state were all successfully captured by the princess' advice. Not only that, she even went to the bandit village to catch the bandits in person. She is a rare loyal woman who is not afraid of life and death, worrying about the country and the people.

As for her origin, it is not up to her to decide, please ask the sage to learn from her. "

Seeing the old housekeeper who was going all out, Eunuch Qian frowned worriedly.

Knowing that the sage is killing the princess on the opposite side, it is not a wise move for the father-in-law to do this.

Will take myself in at any time.

He has served the saint for so long, doesn't he know it?

At this moment, Emperor Wuhou was also looking at him coolly, his eyes full of indistinct emotions.

The old steward could no longer be so scruples: "Saint, if you don't believe me, you can go to Taihe Prefecture to see, and the people there can replace the old slave to declare the loyalty of the side princess."
