imperial princess

Chapter 082: Back to Beijing, People Welcome

The embattled war crisis is over, but natural disasters are still continuing. In order to let the people get out of the disaster as soon as possible, before the prince and his wife return to Beijing, the emperor's imperial decree spread to Sifang Border Town, ordering all the withdrawn troops to be transferred to the disaster area. Resist all kinds of natural disasters caused by continuous aftershocks, and help the people rebuild their homes as quickly as possible.

Because Ye Zhao had already settled the money issue before he left, the treasury received a large sum of money donated by businessmen one after another, plus material donations from all over the country, and the war confiscated millions of grains, grass and military supplies from Chen Guo, although the court was not rich. , but it is no longer stretched. With sufficient human, financial and material resources, the disaster situation was quickly brought under control, and the mental outlook of the people became better and better.

"Che'er, Zhao'er!"

Two months later, the prince and his wife returned to Beijing, and the emperor personally led civil and military officials to the east gate to greet them. When he saw their carriage approaching from a distance, the emperor couldn't hide his excitement. Everyone is sincerely looking forward to their return. As for why they spent two full months, coming back soon after the Chinese New Year, it is very simple, because they first went around to the disaster area to host the disaster relief until the disaster was almost under control. The destroyed homes of the people were rebuilt one after another. The emperor urged him three or five times a day, and the husband and wife handed over the remaining matters to the local officials and returned to the capital from the disaster area.

"Shut up!"

The team stopped when there was still some distance from the emperor, and Mrs. Rongche jumped out of the carriage one after another, smiled at each other, and walked towards the emperor side by side: "I send my respects to my father, long live, long live, long live!"

"Excuse me, excuse me, I have worked hard for you in the past few months."

Before they knelt down, the emperor grabbed their hands with a slight gaffe, looked up and down with tears in his eyes, and came back. His eldest son and daughter-in-law, whom he was most proud of, all returned safely!

"Congratulations to the crown prince, His Highness the crown princess returns to the capital, thousands of years old, thousand years old!"

"Thousands of thousands of years!"

"Thousands of thousands of years!"

All civil and military officials, led by the old chief assistant and the six important ministers, greeted them in unison, followed by a crowd of common people. They all knew who made them overcome the disaster and stand up again in such a short period of time. In March, not only the capital city or the disaster area, the prestige of the prince and his wife has accumulated to the highest point all over the country. It is said that in some places, people went to temples to enshrine their longevity cards, praying for the Buddha to bless them with a long life, and the increase increased. life.

"Be flat!"

The husband and wife looked at each other, and joined hands in public to signal to all the officials and common people to excuse themselves.

"Thank you, Prince, Princess!"

All the officials expressed their thanks in unison, and after the people were stunned for a short time, suddenly someone stood up and shouted: "The prince is a thousand years old, the princess is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

"Thousands of thousands of years!"

For this reason, the enthusiasm of the people was unprecedentedly high, and the emperor and the officials were very happy to see it, but now it was freezing cold, so it was not a problem to continue. Surrounded by crowds, they drove back to the palace. Along the road, the shouts of the common people continued uninterrupted, until they entered the range of the palace, the sound gradually diminished, and finally disappeared completely.

"More than three months have passed, and the aftershocks have lasted longer and longer. Yierchen and Zhaoer speculated that this unprecedented disaster is almost over. With the help of the army, the people not only rebuilt their homes, but also resettled them. The original fields have been destroyed, and more wastelands have been opened up as much as possible, so that they can be planted and sowed after the new year.”

In the imperial study room, Rong Che briefly talked about the situation in the disaster area, and before everyone asked questions, he raised his hand and waved. Standing behind them, Yi Ning held an urn and sent it to the old Shoufu: "This is Li Aiqing's. Ashes, when Dilong turned over that day, he happened to be handling a case in the Yamen. The collapsed beam directly broke his lower body, and he held his last breath to finish writing the report. He swallowed his breath before he could see his family for the last time. Please grief!"

The real situation was even crueler than what he said. Li Taiyuan's entire lower body was smashed into a pulp, and he couldn't even find a complete body. In addition, after he arrived in Pingyang City, he found that the rat problem was indeed as worrying as Zhaoer. Rampant, the first time he brought up Li Taiyuan's corpse, in order to appease the people, Mrs. Li understood the righteousness, and took the lead in standing up and sparking Li Taiyuan's corpse in public. The last thing left was this handful of ashes.

"Many, thank you Your Highness for taking him home, thank you..."

Standing up tremblingly, he took the urn. The old Chief Assistant had tears in his eyes. Although he knew that his son-in-law was gone, when he saw his urn, he couldn't help but feel grief.

Including the emperor, many people present couldn't help feeling nervous. They couldn't imagine what kind of belief Li Taiyuan, who knew he was going to die, wrote the last memorial to the court. There is no doubt that he is a good official who is worthy of the court and serves the country and the people!

"My condolences, my lord. Your son-in-law is a benefactor of the court and the people. If it weren't for him, the report from Pingyang City would not have been sent to the capital. Your daughter is also a hero among women. She helped the prince in disaster relief. Many women with twin children who lost their parents, husbands or children became strong under her comfort. This time, the prince and I wanted to take her and her family back to Beijing, but she declined because the people in Pingyang City still don’t know what to do. You need them, my lord, you should be proud of having such a daughter and son-in-law."

Rong Che is obviously not a man who can comfort others. Ye Zhao took over the conversation in a tacit understanding, and he didn't talk nonsense. This era is indeed dominated by men, but no matter how capable they are, they can only grasp the general direction. The ones who are really careful are Women, when a disaster strikes, those orphans and women, what they need is not the assistance of the court, but spiritual comfort and support. The daughter of the old chief minister played such a role very well, assisting Rong Che in disaster relief, Help them get back on their feet.

"Thank you, Princess."

The old Shoufu was still choked up and didn't dare to say too much. Knowing that his daughter was not devastated because of the loss of her husband, and that his grandson and granddaughters were all well, he was relieved.

"Father, there are still many court officials and wives like Mrs. Li and his wife in the cities that were hit hard this time. I implore Father to send someone to investigate and treat the meritorious officials and their families generously."

Looking up to the emperor, Ye Zhao solemnly pleaded for credit for the court officials who died in the disaster and the wives who assisted in the reconstruction after the disaster.

"That should be the case, Chu Aiqing, this matter will be checked and implemented by the Ministry of Household Affairs, and one person must not be missed. Also, those who have assisted the government in disasters and performed outstandingly, regardless of their male or female backgrounds, will be recorded in the record. I will reward them for their merits." !"

Nodding his head, the emperor immediately handed over the matter to the household department. During this time, he also received many secret reports. It was not just the strength of one person that they could control such a huge disaster within three months. , he will not miss any one who should be rewarded, and he will definitely not lightly forgive those who should be punished.

"The minister obeys the order."

Chu Shangshu bowed down to accept the order, which was originally a matter of the household department.

The new year is approaching, and it only happened in the past few days. After that, the monarchs and ministers talked a lot about the disaster area and the spring plowing in the next year. Some people even mentioned the wedding of the prince and his wife, but Rong Che and Ye Zhao rejected it. The disaster was only controlled. It's over, it's not completely over yet, it's obviously not appropriate to hold a big wedding now, they've already decided, wait until next year's bumper harvest, and the people will completely get rid of the pain caused by the disaster before discussing the marriage!

"Uncle!"

"Uncle!"

The ministers bid farewell and left, and the princes and princesses came again. Two months later, Rong Huan's two little buns did not forget Meimei's uncle. , ran over with short legs and threw himself into his arms, even ignoring the emperor's grandfather and uncle.

"Slow down, little bastards, don't hit the big uncle."

Rong Huan was heartbroken following behind, and Yun Yichen couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly, his five-year-old and three-year-old sons were like two little oxen, with stubborn tempers, he couldn't control them anyway .

"It's all right."

Opening his arms to embrace them, Ye Zhao threw a smile to Rong Huan, pinched the two chubby cheeks respectively: "I haven't seen you in two months, let me see if you are getting fat again."

"Yes, Xuanxuan eats meat every day."

"Yes, eat meat, grow meat."

Big Baozi Yun Hexuan is already five years old, and he speaks relatively fluently. Little Baozi is only three years old, and he is still not fluent, but this does not affect his expression of his own ideas, because it is often the elder brother who said it first, and he followed closely. Rightly or wrongly, both brothers wore a pair of underpants.

"Haha...that's right, only by eating meat can you grow flesh. Don't be like your uncle Huang, who doesn't want to eat anything all day long."

The childish words of the two buns amused him, and Ye Zhao smiled happily while hugging them, not forgetting Chi Guoguo's dislike for someone.

"See Father, Brother, and Sister-in-law."

The princes and princesses entered the imperial study one after another, bowing to the emperor and Mrs. Rongche at the same time.

"Well, sit down."

They are all his own children, happy again today, the emperor nodded, with a gentle smile on his face, his eyes glanced at Ye Zhaohe and his two grandchildren from time to time, compared to other grandchildren, Yun Yun, who was born in the border town and raised in the border town The He Xuan brothers are more lively and active, not squeamish at all, and they are very close to him, the emperor's grandfather, on weekdays, and he likes them very much.

The princes and princesses grew up in the intriguing harem since they were young. Seeing the second prince Rong Huan's child become the focus of attention, several people who were married and had children all regretted not bringing their children along. Fan, from the moment he came in to now, except when he was saluting, he has always looked straight at Rong Che and Ye Zhao, the shock and discomfort that he thought he had concealed well hovered in the bottom of his eyes.

Mrs. Rongche and his wife were neither blind nor sensory disordered. They raised their eyes and glanced at him lightly. For the emperor's sake, they didn't say much, but the smile on their faces faded a little.

"Emperor's sister-in-law loves children so much, why don't you marry the prince and brother as soon as possible?"

The person who spoke was the emperor's eldest daughter, Princess Ruyi, who married her mother's cousin a few years ago. She thought the kiss would make her closer, but the other party was flirtatious. The beautiful maid in the Shaofu, the couple were not in harmony after marriage, and there is only one daughter under their knees.

"Ruyi, when is it your turn to intervene in Brother Huang's affairs?"

Rong Che and his wife hadn't replied yet, Rong Fan suddenly frowned and scolded, which made the smile on Princess Ruyi's face froze, her forehead was full of doubts, and the atmosphere in the whole imperial study was a little stagnant.

【Is this person out of his mind? 】

It shouldn't be, isn't he the protagonist Gong?

The system bully said that he could no longer understand humans.

[Probably yes. 】

Without even looking at Rong Fan, Ye Zhao was still teasing the two buns with a smile. He probably knew why Rong Fan was like this. Unrequited affection, it is strange that the brain is not bad.
