Struggle History of the Reborn Son

On the eighth day of October, Prince Hong and Princess Hong, who had been in the Jianghuai River for disaster relief for several months, finally returned in anticipation of the emperor and courtiers.In the Guangming Hall, Longyan was overjoyed, and rewarded Prince Hong with many valuable and rare items on the spot, and even the concubine Hongqin, who was paying her respects in the harem, was named and praised by the emperor.

After the court, Xiao Mingyi summoned Xiao Shihong to the imperial study room, and summoned him alone.

"Hong'er, you have done a good job in this disaster relief." Xiao Mingyi couldn't help but smile from the corners of his eyes.

"Thank you for the praise of the father, but I dare not be a minister. I am just sharing the worries of the father. Jianghuai has been affected by floods all year round. This time, I personally understand the disaster situation. Naturally, I want to relieve the people from the fire and water. During this period, I have done things inappropriately. Please also ask the father The emperor forgives the crime."

During the few months Xiao Shihong was in Jianghuai, in addition to the urgent delivery of a memorial to the capital in three days and [-] miles on weekdays, he also secretly asked his father for instructions on many things, including the thunderous disposal of many corrupt officials along the Jianghuai line, or If it is ransacking a house, or sending a whole family to jail, the local people will of course clap their hands and applaud, but it only affects the whole body. I don't know how many intricate power fluctuations in the court are involved by those officials.

Xiao Mingyi snorted coldly when he heard the words, and said: "Those local officials should have deserved what they deserved. I gave them official positions and money, and hoped that they would benefit the people of one side. How dare they lie about the disaster situation, embezzle the relief money, and care about the people's food and clothing?" , What is the use of such officials? It would be better to kill them, just to fill in for these people, does Hong'er have any suggestions?"

Xiao Shihong's face was startled, and he hesitated: "Father, this... The minister's expedient measure at that time was to let the deputy of the corresponding official or the expert in the government office take the place, and ask the father to decide on the specific filling personnel."

Xiao Mingyi could clearly see the surprise in Xiao Shihong's eyes, and said with a smile, "You don't need to think about it, but it's okay to say it."

Xiao Shihong hesitated for a while, and stopped declining, saying: "My son thinks that the local deputies and other temporary substitutes, the father might as well give them half a year or a year for evaluation. If they are really capable, they can be made regular. If it is not possible to confer an official position, the imperial court will select another person to take up the post. This year’s newly recruited Jinshi may be sent out for a few years as a trial, in case there are vacancies in the court and central government in the future.”

Xiao Mingyi nodded, and said to the Hou Zhi official at the side: "According to Prince Hong's wishes, draw up the decree."

Xiao Shihong was extremely surprised, and said: "Father, I'm afraid this is inappropriate..."

Xiao Mingyi waved his hand and said: "It's okay, you and the crown prince are grown up, so you should share your father's worries. Even Feng'er asked me a while ago, saying that after you come back, he plans to return to the Northwest Army to fight again." Practice for some time."

Xiao Shihong was shocked in his heart, but his face was calm. The father and son talked about some state affairs and family affairs. It was almost noon when Xiao Mingyi let him go, saying: "Take your princess and go see your mother. Concubine, go out for so long, your mother and concubine should also forget about it."

Xiao Shihong took orders, and after lunch in Zhilan Palace, he sent Concubine Hongqin to the gate of the palace, and said to the concubine, "Concubine, you go back to the mansion first, and I will go to the eighth emperor's brother."

Concubine Hongqin nodded gently, and said: "The prince can just go, there is no need to send ministers and concubines here."

Xiao Shihong smiled, and helped Prince Hong into the carriage, he was really envious of the little girl beside him.

Sending Hongqin and Concubine off, Xiao Shihong turned around and walked quickly towards the Jinfeng Palace. Ah Feng was going to the barracks suddenly. Could it be that something happened while he was away?
