The meeting hall regained its peace.

He Qingchen stood under the dragon table, staring at Emperor Zhaoyuan and his son.

half an hour.

"Father, do you have something to tell me?" He Qingchen pursed his lips and spoke.

Emperor Zhaoyuan glanced at him and asked him directly: "What do you think about the earthquake in Junzhou?"

"Huh?" He Qingchen was a little confused.

Haven’t we been discussing this all morning?

Why are you asking him such a question?

Could it be that the emperor also realized that the actual disaster caused by the Junzhou earthquake was not as serious as stated in the memorial, and someone just deliberately exaggerated the situation?

"Father, what do you mean?" He Qingchen asked, hiding the doubts in his heart.

After living a new life, in the eyes of everyone, he had just learned about the earthquake in Junzhou. He was not even clear about the extent of the disaster in Junzhou. Naturally, he could not say much.

The more you say, the more mistakes you make.

If someone notices it, it will cause trouble again.

Emperor Zhaoyuan glanced at him and then threw a memorial on the dragon table to him.

"Last night, a report about the earthquake in Junzhou was delivered to me. I initially thought that the earthquake in Junzhou was serious, but now it seems that may not be the case. The one in your hand was sent back by my people, and it was even sent back half a day earlier than the report. I was busy yesterday and didn't have time to read it. I didn't expect that Junzhou would give me such a surprise."

Emperor Zhao Yuan said with a sneer, his eyes fixed directly on He Qingchen.

Those words didn't sound like they were trying to explore something with him, but rather like they were stating a very common fact.

He Qingchen caught the memorial thrown by Emperor Zhao Yuan.

He glanced at Emperor Zhao Yuan, then slowly opened the letter.

All I see is news about the earthquake disaster in Junzhou.

In his ears was the voice of Emperor Zhaoyuan, who could not tell whether he was happy or angry, and in his hand was a report on the disaster that was completely different from the one submitted by the governor of Junzhou.

One thing happened, and two different results were reported almost at the same time.

No wonder my father used words like "not necessarily" and "surprise" to describe the scene.

He Qingchen lowered his eyes and thought for a while: "Father, there is obviously a huge discrepancy between what is said in this memorial and what the adults discussed today. Maybe someone deliberately concealed the situation below.

The earthquake is not serious, and Junzhou is fully capable of handling and responding to it.

However, the prefect deliberately exaggerated, causing you to be anxious and even impulsively arrange for people to go to provide disaster relief. I am afraid that many traps have been set up in the territory of Junzhou, waiting for you to issue an order to provide disaster relief and take the initiative to fall into the trap. "

"I naturally thought of this level as well."

Emperor Zhaoyuan lowered his eyes and thought carefully, then asked again: "So, how do you plan to deal with this disaster relief?"

He Qingchen deliberately avoided the topic of Emperor Zhao Yuan.

Still hesitant, he asked cautiously, "Father, do you mean... have you decided to ask me to make this trip?"

There was even a hint of subtle grievance in that hesitant posture.

Emperor Zhaoyuan was silent.

Thinking of what He Chengjue had mentioned just now, He Qingchen was still injured and it was not suitable for him to travel around for the time being.

Thinking about it again, He Qingchen had been busy dealing with the bandit problem in Gongzhou for several months and had suffered a lot. Asking him to go again would seem a bit cold and inhumane.

He picked up a cup of tea, took a sip slowly, suppressed his discomfort, and said with a wry smile: "I... just asked. I also want to hear your thoughts and opinions on this matter."

How could He Qingchen not see that Emperor Zhao Yuan was a little embarrassed.

He lowered his eyes.

As if he didn't sense Emperor Zhao Yuan's embarrassment, he just smiled bitterly and asked, "Father, do you really want to hear your son's opinions and ideas?"

Emperor Zhao Yuan narrowed his eyes.

Do not know why.

He always felt that He Qingchen's words always contained some traps that he had not yet noticed.

He lowered his eyes to look at the familiar documents on the table, gritted his teeth and said, "Well, tell me, what do you think about the earthquake in Junzhou?"

He Qingchen looked at him.

A moment.

He opened his mouth and said, "Father, the severity of the earthquake in Junzhou is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that since the provincial governor has reported the matter, it at least means that Junzhou has experienced an earthquake and does need support.

Also.

Since Junzhou dared to deceive its superiors and conceal the truth from its subordinates, it must be in collusion with people in the court.

They intended to lure the prince away by taking advantage of the earthquake. Did they have some other plans?

Has a trap been set in Junzhou, waiting for someone who is doing disaster relief to jump into it?

Father, the current situation in Junzhou is not just about disaster relief.

There is another thing that is equally important, which is to pacify the people who may riot and find out the whole story of the incident to prevent any more troublesome people from trying to interfere with the people of Beizhao.

If we cannot choose someone who can control all the above problems, we will face the problem.

I am afraid that, not only will disaster relief be difficult, but more people will have to be sacrificed, and the loss will outweigh the gain.”

Emperor Zhao Yuan looked at He Qingchen with slight surprise.

He didn't expect that He Qingchen could think of this.

As He Qingchen said, disaster relief is important, but finding out the people who are causing the trouble is also important.

But who should go?

Emperor Zhao Yuan thought about it and his eyes fell on He Qingchen.

If it were up to him, he would definitely choose He Qingchen.

But, it seems that it is not appropriate at the moment. He is not in good health and has only been recuperating for a few days.

He Qingchen obviously saw what he was thinking.

He curled his lips and smiled: "Father, do you have any suitable candidates in mind for the people who should go to Junzhou to provide disaster relief?"

Emperor Zhaoyuan opened his mouth, glanced at him as if he was about to say something, and said helplessly: "Since you can't go, then, then ask Prince Jin to take the young ones to go and take a look together."

He Qingchen shook his head when he heard that.

"Father, do you really think that Prince Jin is suitable?"

He Qingchen indirectly denied this option.

After saying this, he seemed to have thought of something, and added: "Father, in fact, the analysis of the adults is quite logical, but there are some things they say that I really don't agree with."

Emperor Zhao Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

He thought back to what happened in the palace just now. The court officials had lost their image and were like women in the market, pointing and arguing with each other. He couldn't help but laugh: "What are you talking about?"

"Just now, Lord Zhao said that we must arrange for someone of some importance to go with us on this trip to Junzhou.

There is nothing wrong with this statement itself, the problem lies in what follows. "

"behind?"

"Yes, according to what Lord Zhao said, this is an excellent opportunity for training, and it would be best to invite a few more princes to go together.

But, father, this trip is not just for disaster relief, not just for so-called training, the most important thing is that we must find out the truth so that those who are secretly plotting will have nowhere to hide and will never be able to reach out to our Beizhao court again.

Right now, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light.

Putting so many princes there rashly is not a training, but a trap for them to fall into!"

He Qingchen said this with true feelings.

After being reminded by him, Emperor Zhaoyuan finally figured it out.

Emperor Zhao Yuan felt a chill down his spine when he thought that if he really let his sons go without thinking it through, some uncontrollable accidents might happen.

Seeing He Qingchen's calm face.

As if he had already come up with an idea, Emperor Zhao Yuan coughed lightly and said hesitantly: "Well, in your opinion, who is the most suitable person to go for this matter? Tell me, and I will listen to you. Do you think the same as I do?"
