Lucky star, cute baby, fairy mother is so handsome

"Butler He, arrange for people to find a place outside the house to support the cooking."

"The Ninth Prince's Mansion will start giving out porridge today. There will be twenty locations and twenty large pots. Two tablespoons for each person over five years old and one spoon for each child under five years old."

"Old slave, I obey."

Jingzhao Mansion Yamen.

The people who reported the crime were on three levels inside and three outside, and the government office was surrounded by water.

"Sir, a full bowl of rice was stolen, which is my family's ten-day ration. Sir, how can we survive now that we don't have even a grain of rice?"

"Sir, half a bowl was lost in my house. I tried to save it for my old mother. We are in good health and can survive a few days of starvation, but she can't. Damn the thief, you have trapped me into unfilial piety."

"Sir, half of the steamed buns I have at home have been stolen. They are the children's rations. My poor child can only starve now. I don't know how many days he can survive?"

......

These words made Zheng Tao, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, feel sour in his heart.

The capital is surrounded by the sea on three sides and has always been prosperous, but now it has fallen to the point where losing half a steamed bun or half a bowl of rice will kill the entire family.

He smashed his clenched fist on the table and cursed in a low voice, "Damn natural disasters, damn thieves."

Then he raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "Everyone, please be patient. I will do my best to track down the thieves and find the lost food. Please go back first."

He was stuck in the government office early and didn't even go to court.

Thinking that the emperor had already made up his mind, he wanted to go find out more quickly.

"Sir, if I can't find the lost food today, I won't go home. Anyway, I will die if I go back."

"Yes, I'll wait here." Everyone agreed.

At this time, using force to solve the problem would only arouse public anger, so Zheng Tao could only let the people continue to stay in the government office.

He himself left in a hurry.

Jinluan Palace.

"The so-called pillar of the country can't even think of a way to deal with it. What do I need from you?"

All the officials knelt down and said, "I will die."

"You..." The emperor pointed at everyone with his fingers trembling, obviously very angry.

"I don't want your lives, I want a way to get through this difficult time."

After the words fell, the hall fell into a dead silence. After a moment, "Since everyone can't think of a way, let me think about it and listen to the order."

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

"You will return home immediately and each of you will hand over a dou of rice to the treasury."

Prime Minister Zuo cried out in pain, "Your Majesty, I really can't afford the extra food."

"Oh? The left prime minister wants to resist the decree?"

"Your Majesty, I dare not resist the decree. But last night, thieves moved away all the food stored in the house. To be honest, there is not even a grain of rice in the left prime minister's house now."

His Highness the Eighth Prince's slightly scornful voice sounded, "Prime Minister Zuo, as far as I know, the thieves only stole the people's food. Prime Minister Zuo probably didn't want to hand over the food, so he made random excuses."

Prime Minister Zuo prostrates himself on the ground, "I don't dare to do this at all. Please take a closer look, Your Majesty."

"Since the left prime minister is not resisting the decree, go back to get food and retreat from the court."

Prime Minister Left... where can I get it? ? ?

His complexion was livid, and his eyes were even scarlet.

When he learned that all the food had been stolen this morning, he became anxious and angry. The whole family had not thought of a way to deal with the food and clothing. The emperor also ordered to hand over a bucket of rice, which simply made matters worse.

The appearance of the tenth prince suddenly appeared in his mind.

He thought secretly: The emperor is fatuous and incompetent, it’s time for someone else to take over the throne in this world.

Royal study room.

The emperor quickly walked up to His Highness the Eighth Prince, raised his foot and kicked him hard, causing His Highness to fall down.

The emperor kicked him again, and His Highness the Eighth Prince screamed in pain.

"Father, what mistake did I make? Please make it clear."

The implication is: tell me the reason for being beaten.

"I entrusted the security of the capital to you, but you have failed in your duties time and time again. What use do I need from you?"

"It's useless. My abilities are limited and I am embarrassed to be useless. Please ask my father to choose someone else."

I couldn't stop laughing in my heart, I can finally be a leisurely prince!

The prince, who was standing aside with his eyes lowered, raised his head slightly and looked at His Highness the Eighth Prince who was playing tricks.

I wish I could go up and kick him a few times.

The princes of other countries fought fiercely for power, but when it was their turn, they showed all kinds of humility, and they were so harmonious that they couldn't be more harmonious.

Really useless.

He thought to himself: Father, please never agree.

"What? You want to throw the blame to others? I tell you, it's impossible."

"Father, that is an unforgivable mistake. If the father doesn't punish his son, how can he block everyone's mouth?"

"I will fine you a stone of rice and return it to each household according to the amount they lost."

Your Majesty the Eighth Prince...one stone? Might as well be dismissed from office.

He plans to fight for one stone of rice, but he doesn't have much rice.

"Father..."

But Eunuch Xi came out excitedly and said, "Your Majesty, there is good news from outside the palace."

"Caught the thief?"

Eunuch Xi shook his head, "No."

"Then you told me it's good news? Get lost, I don't want to hear anything other than catching the thief."

"Oh." Eunuch Xi turned around, sighed and walked out slowly, "It's not good news that the Nine Princes Mansion is giving porridge."

"Stop, what did you say?" The emperor stopped him immediately.

Eunuch Xi turned around and saluted, "Reporting to your Majesty, the Ninth Princess and the people from the Ninth Prince's Palace set up twenty stations in the capital, setting up pots and serving porridge, saying it was to accumulate blessings for His Highness the Ninth Prince."

"Okay, okay, I have a good daughter-in-law." The haze on his face dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Nian Yu is indeed Tianchen's lucky star." He said excitedly, "All the food sent by the officials will be given to Nian Yu. Go and do it quickly."

"Look, my daughter-in-law is both wise and brave. Look at you all. You are just wasting food. Why don't you get out of here."

His Highness the Eighth Prince quickly dragged the prince away.

The two of them came to the door of Jiuwang Mansion tacitly, and Gu Nianyu was busy beside a big pot.

After seeing them, he held a spoon in one hand and akimbo with the other, and said thoughtfully, "Hey, brothers, you finally remembered me. It's not easy."

She came to the door in person and sent people to the door, at least twenty times, but she never saw anyone.

Don't you just want to delay it? As long as you want, you can drag it away. Does she agree?

"My father asked my two brothers to finance the rebuilding of Youyuan. Since we met by chance today, let's just give them the money."
