[Quick Travel] Every mission always comes with a boyfriend

"...you are the emperor."

How slowly can a bowl of stewed soft porridge be drunk?Even a seven-year-old child could handle it quickly, not to mention that the man poured more than half of it into his mouth when he started to pour it into his mouth. It didn't take long for all the porridge in the bowl to go into the man's stomach.

He was still wearing the tight-fitting clothing that made it easy to move around. The man wiped his mouth with his hand indifferently, and fell silent for a while before speaking.

"Yes, I am the emperor."

Jin Chen raised his chin slightly, showing a bit of nobility and reserve. The majesty of the emperor that he had deliberately restrained was fully revealed when he uttered this sentence, which made his heart tremble.

"Then you just..." Why did you lie to me?

He didn't say the following words, but the man understood after thinking about it: in the situation just now, who would admit that he is the emperor?

"Since you are the emperor, why didn't you order me to be killed?"

The man looked straight at Jin Chen, with puzzlement and confusion in his eyes.

"Why should I kill you?"

Jin Chen smiled gently when he heard this.

"You have brought such important news to me. Originally, I would not be too exaggerated to reward you. Then you have indeed disturbed Shengjia. Such a mistake cannot be ignored. After all the merits and demerits are balanced, we will not be too big. I just remember your little work."

"..."

"His Majesty……"

The man murmured unconsciously, then suddenly left the table, knelt down, and kowtowed deeply to Jin Chen.

"Cao Min Gao Ping, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

He knelt down sincerely, and he worshiped willingly. The pair of majestic yet gentle eyes he met just now finally made him truly understand the meaning of the word 'Ming Jun'.

"Excuse me. Gao Ping, please tell me about the situation on your side."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

According to Gao Ping, since the beginning of May this year, there have been heavy rains in the south for many days, causing the water level of the river to continue to rise.Many villagers felt that something was wrong. The embankment in their area had not been repaired for a while. If the water level continued to rise like this, it might break the embankment.

"Your Majesty, it's not that we haven't thought about repairing the embankment, but it's the government's business after all. No matter how we say it, we can't do it lightly. The villagers thought, first send a few people to ask the county magistrate for instructions."

"However, the dog officer didn't agree. He said that we people are just worrying about the sky. How can the embankment be washed away so easily? We people have time to worry about this, so we might as well spend more time on our own fields."

When Gao Ping said this, he clenched his fists tightly.

"As a result... not long after the dog officer finished speaking, the flood completely broke through the originally weak embankment, and all the grain still in the field was submerged in the water. That day, a few naughty people in the village The child... drowned."

"The rain is getting smaller, but it is still falling continuously. The food in our house is getting less and less day by day, but we can only watch the dog officer stay behind closed doors. Your Majesty, the dog officer has so many officers and soldiers. There are weapons on the ground, what can we ordinary people do?"

Gao Ping's eyes were red, and his voice was choked with uncontrollable sobs.

"I know."

Jin Chen reached out and patted him on the shoulder, his tone was still calm, but it made the listeners feel at ease.

"I will deal with the matter over there as soon as possible. Gao Ping, you should rest in this palace for one more day and try to recharge your energy. I will personally tour the south in the future, and you will lead me the way."

"Your Majesty, you want to make a southern tour?! This, this, this... Thank you, Your Majesty! Caomin thank you, Your Majesty!"

Needless to say, Gao Ping knew what the Emperor's Southern Tour represented.He originally thought that even if His Majesty was kind, it would be great to send a high-ranking minister to the south for disaster relief, but he didn't expect that His Majesty actually planned to go there in person.

Gao Ping blushed and was afraid when he thought that he had tried to kill the Mingjun who cared so much for the people before.

"Caomin really had eyes that didn't recognize Mount Tai before. I hope His Majesty will forgive me."

"What are you talking about? Didn't I say it? I don't blame you. As the saying goes, those who don't know are innocent. Besides, you didn't know the situation in the capital at that time. If I stood in your position, I'm afraid there will be some Same idea."

Seeing that Gao Ping was about to stand up and kneel again, Jin Chen quickly raised his hand to stop him. The ancient people's habit of kneeling because of this excitement, Jin Chen really felt a little awkward no matter how many times he watched it.

Fortunately, almost all the questions that should be asked have been asked. Jin Chen told the maid to take good care of Gao Ping, and he went back to the imperial study. He encountered Gao Ping's incident as soon as he returned to the palace. Now I haven't changed a single one, and if I don't go back now, I'm afraid I will have to change it until I don't know when.

As soon as he went to court the next day, Jin Chen told the other ministers about the waterlogging in the south and his trip to the south, and as expected, he received a lot of dissuading voices.

However, the awe of Jin Chen has already been deeply engraved in these people's hearts during the past few months. He only said, "Dear dear friends, please remember to perform your duties during this period, and don't persuade the rest of you." ", so that everyone was quiet.

Jin Chen is not very worried about the affairs of the imperial court, and with Feng Yizhong watching from the side, nothing can go wrong.What he has a headache now is another thing: how to tell Liang Xuewei that he is going to tour the south?

Liang Xuewei has never concealed her worry about her son. In order to make Song Heng, who was still young and did not understand the cruel rules in the palace, know how to pretend to be mediocre, she even threatened to scratch her own arm, forcing Song Heng to fight with tears and tears. Grow rapidly in blood.

If such a tough method had not been witnessed in memory, Jin Chen would not have believed that it would be done by a gentle person like Liang Xuewei, and the flooding in the south is a major event, even if the harem is not allowed to discuss politics, it will happen sooner or later It spread to Liang Xuewei's ears through word of mouth during chatting.Even though Jin Chen could lie to her for a while when he left, if she found out about it later, it would only have the opposite effect and make her even more worried.

After retiring from the imperial court, Jin Chen sat in the imperial study, feeling in a dilemma.

"Xiao Lizi, tell me, when should I find a time to talk to my queen about this matter?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly, no matter when you speak, the empress dowager's reaction will probably be the same."

Xiao Lizi can be said to be the person in the entire palace who understands Jin Chen's troubles the most. Seeing Jin Chen being so distressed by a single sentence, he can't say any words of comfort - he also knows the temper of the empress dowager. With regard to the word "stubborn", it can only be said that she and His Majesty are worthy of being mother and son, and they don't listen to persuasion.

"Your Majesty, this servant feels that if Your Majesty wants to talk to the Empress Dowager about this matter, he should go there as soon as possible, persuade her a little longer, and explain the seriousness of the matter to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager may agree."

Although the possibility is not great.

Xiao Lizi didn't say the last sentence. After all, there is always a possibility in everything. In his heart, the Empress Dowager is still a very sensible lady in major matters. It is hard to say whether she will agree with His Majesty's actions in the end.

Jin Chen felt that what Xiao Lizi said made sense.

He immediately got up and went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and while Liang Xuewei was eating, he described to her in detail what happened in the south. Then take the opportunity to bring up the matter of the southern tour.

"..."

The hand was released, and Liang Xuewei fell into silence.

"Mother, this trip will not be as dangerous as you imagined. I will bring enough guards and a general to protect myself. The situation in the south is urgent, and it is best for me to go to suppress it in person. choose."

Jin Chen gently held Liang Xuewei's hand, and spoke seriously.

Liang Xuewei remained silent.

She didn't nod her head in agreement, but she didn't refute. She just looked at Jin Chen quietly and didn't say a word for a long time.

"Mother?"

Jin Chen was not sure about her idea, so he spoke carefully.

"Ugh……"

Liang Xuewei sighed softly.

If her son is not the emperor today, but just an ordinary prince, even if the reward for this trip is the throne, she will never agree.

But now, her son is the emperor, a wise king who cares about the people of the world, and a filial son who cares about his mother's feelings.As much worry as Liang Xuewei had in her heart, there was as much pride in her heart—her son was an upright king.

And now, the king was waiting for his mother's reply.

"... If I say I don't agree, will you not go?"

This sentence means agreeing.

It is said that knowing a son is better than a mother, Liang Xuewei knows her son too well, so there is some resentment in her words.

"Mother, don't worry, my son will definitely protect himself."

Jin Chen was overjoyed, and quickly made a promise.

"Hmm... Heng'er, the queen mother doesn't have any other wishes. The queen mother only hopes that you will be well. You promise the queen mother that you will come back safely, understand?"

Liang Xuewei held Jin Chen's hand back, her words were full of concern.

"Empress mother, I will be filial to you for the rest of my life. I will not let myself get hurt."

Jin Chen made a solemn promise.

For the rest of the day, he didn't go anywhere, he stayed in the Compassionate Ning Palace to accompany Liang Xuewei, and did not return to the Imperial Study Room until after dinner.

The attendant who had been waiting at the door for a long time came up immediately to report Gao Ping's situation to Jin Chen. A day's training had already made him feel much better. It would not be a problem to leave early tomorrow morning.

And An Wu, who was sent by Jin Chen to follow the Minister of the Household before, also reported that all the food and silver needed for the southern tour had been prepared, and the soldiers in charge of guarding had also been arranged and could be transferred at any time.

everything's ready.

Jin Chen thought for a while, and asked people to move all the memorials in the imperial study back to his bedroom.

Of course, he only briefly reviewed some, and felt that the time was almost up, so he decided to change his clothes and rest--tomorrow he was going to go on a southern tour, and he didn't plan to stay overnight tonight.
