Done! Your Majesty is going to prostitute me for free!

Chapter 23 Benevolence

Hearing that His Royal Highness the Prince was angry, Wang Jingwen also shouted: "Here comes someone, escort me!"

With an order, the guards hidden outside the room rushed into the room instantly.

The already small room seemed even more crowded.

Li Dexian was very angry, and the consequences were serious!

The first time I visited privately incognito, I was teased by this unruly man. Damn it! Damn it!

And such a loud movement also woke up the man who was sleeping in the house.

The man staggered out. Seeing so many people in the room, he was a little scared for a moment. He quickly dragged his broken leg to his knees and asked tremblingly: "Masters, what happened to my family?"

Wang Jingwen pursed his lips, pointed at the mush that fell on the ground and sneered, "Humph! This unruly man of yours actually deceived our young master, saying that this thing is edible!"

"Ah~~ It's edible. This is edible!"

As he said that, the honest man was afraid of hitting the ground. He didn't care about the dirt on the ground and just started eating.

While eating, he begged for mercy from Li Dexian and others: "Masters, I can really eat it, really!"

Li Dexian is stunned!

This...how can this be edible? ! ! !

But the man's expression didn't look like he was pretending.

Obviously he is used to this smell.

Wang Jingwen saw Li Dexian's doubts and whispered into Li Dexian's ear: "Your Highness, this is what poor people eat. Your Highness must not be used to it, so he feels that he can't swallow it."

At that moment, Li Dexian seemed to be frozen in time. His face turned from white to red, like a peach blossom under the morning glow. His eyes shone with shame, like that of a child whose secret has been revealed. His chest was rising and falling violently.

Then, he kicked Wang Jingwen violently, with anger and disappointment in his voice: "You bitch! Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Wang Jingwen covered his butt, with a hint of grievance in his eyes. He didn't dare to say anything, but he was complaining in his heart: 'What are you talking about! You insist on eating it yourself, you can’t even grab it, and you still blame me for eating it, it’s our family’s fault no matter what! ’

Li Dexian's eyes fell on the man who was still lying on the ground, chewing the paste in his mouth. His face turned redder, and he whispered awkwardly: "Get up! Get up quickly!"

The man stood up staggeringly, and Li Dexian felt even more ashamed as he looked at his broken leg, which was inconvenient for movement, and the dust on his face.

He whispered: "I misunderstood you, let's just eat it, and even knocked over what you were eating, you should pay for it!"

With that said, Li Dexian turned to Wang Jingwen and said, "Get them ten taels of silver!"

"Ah~ No, no, no, it's worthless!" The man waved his hands repeatedly.

Wang Jingwen couldn't help but put the ten taels of silver into the man's hand without any explanation.

"Then this is it!" Li Dexian finished his sentence and left the room as if he was running away.

Wang Jingwen also walked out, and the guards hid again, protecting Li Dexian secretly.

Seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's back looking a little lonely, Wang Jingwen stepped forward and asked cautiously: "Your Highness, shall we go back to the palace?"

"Do the maids and eunuchs in the palace eat mushy food and live in this kind of shabby house?" Li Dexian asked in a daze.

"Of course not!" Wang Jingwen smiled and tried to lighten the atmosphere: "There are flowers in the palace, and even the worst hut is bigger than this house. The food the people in the palace eat is much more delicious than this paste. !”

"This is the outer city, not a good place. If your highness wants to visit more, you can go to the inner city, which is much better. How about going and taking a look now?"

"Eunuch Wang, did you eat like this before entering the palace?" Li Dexian did not answer, but asked Wang Jingwen in turn.

This question reminded Wang Jingwen of his bitter childhood. He sighed, with a hint of desolation in his voice: "At that time, the war was not over yet, and the food our family had was not as good as theirs! Just this porridge was considered a big meal, and we were basically hungry the rest of the time. At that time, it was difficult to have a full meal in two or three days!"

"But there is no need to worry, Your Majesty. Since the end of the war, Your Majesty has worked hard to govern, and the people's lives have improved a lot. Although there are still some hardships, as long as you follow His Majesty's pace, good days are ahead!"

Li Dexian was thoughtful and said to himself: "I have always been curious about why there are men willing to become eunuchs. So that's it, that's it!"

"..." Wang Jingwen was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond.

·······

On the other side, in the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Jingjiang was reading the memorials on the desk.

As long as you are in this palace, there are countless memorials that need to be dealt with.

Emperor Jingjiang missed Yangqu County a little.

It’s better to be there!

The people live and work in peace and contentment, the buildings are complete, the roads are spacious, and everything is prosperous.

‘If I retire, can I also go to Yangqu County for retirement? ’

As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, Emperor Jingjiang quickly pressed it.

In the position of emperor, there is no talk of retirement!

He shook his head and continued to review the memorial.

This pile of memorials mainly urges funds to be allocated to the disaster-stricken areas in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Funds must be allocated, otherwise it will be difficult for people in the disaster area to survive.

But now is not the time.

Nor can he directly tell the ministers that he has found the magical weapon [Land Sky Thunder], which can change the world and solve the disaster in one fell swoop.

If you really say that, the civil and military officials should impeach me for being deceived by rumors!

So this matter can only be decided by Lin Xiaofeng!

And Emperor Jingjiang was willing to gamble on him!

After vetoing all the memorials urging appropriation, there were finally fewer memorials waiting for approval on Emperor Jingjiang's desk.

He took a long breath and took a sip of tea to take a break.

But I soon realized that tomorrow morning, the ministers would probably do their old tricks again and beg for funding.

Suddenly my head felt very big!

But other than hoping that Lin Xiaofeng would move quickly, there was no other way.

Just as he was thinking about it, the little eunuch outside the door trotted to the door, knelt down outside the door and loudly reported: "Your Majesty, the prince wants to see you!"

"Oh? You're back so soon?" Emperor Jingjiang said with some confusion: "Let him come in!"

Seeing the prince walking in, Emperor Jingjiang couldn't help but have a warm smile on his face. He asked softly: "How did you feel after walking around the capital?"

Li Dexian raised his head proudly and replied proudly: "Back to my father, I already have a general understanding of the situation in the capital."

"Oh?" Emperor Jingjiang raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "Where have you been?" Looking at the prince's confident expression, he felt an uneasy premonition in his heart.

"I went to the outer city for a short stay," Li Dexian raised his head and said, "My son only stopped for a short time in the outer city today and then hurried back to the palace. But you know the autumn with a leaf, and it is good to understand the situation. If you look too much, you will only It only adds to the troubles.”

Emperor Jingjiang's face darkened slightly, and he felt a little displeased with the prince's conceited attitude.

He had just visited an outer city and reported to himself so confidently. He also said that he could tell the autumn in a leaf. It seemed that he still needed a good education!

However, the prince is indeed still young and it is his first time to travel, so he should not be too harsh!

Thinking of this, Emperor Jingjiang tried his best to keep smiling, "In that case, then you can tell me."

Li Dexian said solemnly: "Father, if I have spoken inappropriately, please forgive me."

"Okay, you can speak freely!"

"I'll tell you the truth! The current situation in the capital is very bad, far beyond my imagination."

"Huh?" Emperor Jingjiang frowned and listened carefully.

"Let's talk about the streets first. The streets in the inner city are not well planned, and the outer city is completely unplanned. All kinds of houses and buildings are swaying here and there and built haphazardly. There are even some people who are grabbing land for their houses."

"As a result, it is very inconvenient whether it is transportation or the management of the sanitary environment. Some illegal behaviors are more likely to occur in some dark corners. In my opinion, our court should make unified planning and build neat and uniform houses. Then they can be rented or sold to the people to live in."

"In this way, the scale and quality of the houses are guaranteed, and the court has money and food. Secondly, it can also effectively manage the streets."

Emperor Jingjiang closed his eyes and meditated, tapping his fingers on the table, with an imperceptible smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"Well, this is a good idea. Keep talking."

After getting a positive answer, Li Dexian became more confident.

Talking faster and faster, thinking more and more.

"The construction of houses is one thing, and the sanitation management of the streets is another. People should re-pave the entire street like Yangqu County did. Set up special sewage treatment and garbage disposal. And assign special personnel to take charge of management. In this way It can improve the current scene where sewage flows across the river and garbage is everywhere.”

Hearing this, Emperor Jingjiang opened his eyes, looked at Li Dexian, and asked: "Do you know how to repair the dirty water in this sewer and how to deal with the garbage?"

Li Dexian waved his hand and said noncommittally: "Just throw the dirty water and garbage into the sea."

"Then how long and thick the pipeline are you going to repair here? How much money does it cost? How many migrant workers are needed? What should you do if you encounter mountains and valleys on the way? Will the pipeline be blocked after repairing it? How will you deal with it if it is blocked? "

Emperor Jingjiang asked a series of questions, and Li Dexian was instantly stunned.

But soon, he rolled his eyes and the plan came to his mind!

"There are priorities in learning, and there are specialties in arts. These trivial matters are not what I should consider. If you want to do these things, I will let Lin Xiaofeng take full responsibility. I am only responsible for checking and accepting the results, and he will control the process. .”

"Hmph! You can barely pass!" Emperor Jingjiang snorted coldly: "Go on!"

"Okay! What I want to say next is the key point." Seeing his father being speechless by what he said, Li Dexian instantly burst into confidence.

"And I didn't go to too many places, but I went to a commoner's home in the outer city. I've just talked about the house, so I won't talk about how shabby the house was. The key is that the family was cooking at the time. A pot of fish soup. The fish soup looks terrible. But this kind of fish soup is specially cooked for patients."

"And Chen asked them what they usually eat. As a result, the so-called porridge he brought was completely mushy. It was full of rotten millet and rotten vegetable leaves. It was sour and bitter, and the taste was disgusting when I think about it. Disgusting.”

At this point, Li Dexian recalled the mushy smell again, frowned and wanted to vomit again.

It makes me feel heartbroken to think that the people have survived by eating these for so many years.

"Father, I never thought that the people of our Jingjiang Kingdom would live on such things. It is so miserable! I thought that the country would be prosperous after the war was over, but now it seems that we really have a good life. It’s a long way to go.”

"Therefore, I have some ideas..."

"Wait!" Just when Li Dexian was about to chatter, Emperor Jingjiang suddenly slammed the table and asked seriously: "How do you know the taste of that paste?"

"Ah?! I took a bite. Although it was only a little bit, I still can't forget the sour and bitter taste..."

"Did you really eat it?"

"It's true!" When Li Dexian was questioned by his father, he immediately exploded: "If you don't believe it, you can ask the prince to testify!"

"Okay! Come on, call the prince over!"

At this point, Emperor Jingjiang no longer wanted to listen to Li Dexian's words, and was focused on waiting for Wang Jingwen to come over.

After Wang Jingwen trotted into the Palace of Qianqing, Jingjiangguo even asked him directly without any courtesy: "The prince went for a private visit in disguise, are you really eating the common people's food?"

Wang Jingwen was shocked at that time.

Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince had a bad stomach, and he should be held accountable!

This is bad!

Thinking of this, Fanfan immediately knelt on the ground, but when he glanced at Li Dexian next to him who looked anxious but not uncomfortable, he felt relieved.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince did take a bite of the woman's paste. The old slave tried to persuade her several times but refused to listen. However, after taking a bite, the Crown Prince felt pity and asked the old slave to give the woman ten taels of silver. .”

"Sure?"

"I dare not deceive you!"

"Hahaha, good!"

Hearing Wang Jingwen's sworn words, Emperor Jingjiang suddenly felt ecstatic in his heart!

Although the prince is wasting his time, being lazy, idle, playing with things, not enterprising, ambitious, short-sighted, cynical, and indolent...

But the problem is!

He actually has a benevolent heart towards the people!

rare! It’s rare!

You can learn anything else. If you can't learn it, you can ask the ministers for help.

But there is only this benevolent heart that cares for and cares for the people.

You can’t teach it, you can’t learn it!

Originally, Emperor Jingjiang was a little worried about whether the prince could shoulder the important task.

But now it seems that there is still hope!

"Dexian, you are able to sympathize with the people and not hesitate to feel the suffering of the people. It is rare! You are worthy of being my child. Come and tell me what you think!"
